AB De Villiers has never hidden his deep love for South African cricket. During his legendary career, he fought hard to bring trophies home. He played with flair, grit, and a hunger to win.
While he never lifted the World Test Championship (WTC) trophy, he helped shape the current Proteas side. His leadership, explosive batting, and sportsmanship inspired a new generation.
Even after retirement, his passion burns bright. When the Proteas finally clinched a historic WTC win against Australia, it was a dream come true — not just for fans, but for AB himself.
AB De Villiers Crowns Two Proteas Stars Ice and Fire
After the Proteas’ dramatic WTC triumph, AB took to Instagram to shower praise. “Hats off to Markram for that match-winning century,” he wrote. The former captain was equally full of praise for Temba Bavuma, celebrating his cool leadership. “Temba led with such ice and fire all through,” he added.
AB’s words reflected admiration and pride. He called the experience unforgettable, watching with his two sons, both cheering on the edge of their seats. He spoke of the “sweet victory,” “built up drama,” and “moments to savour.” It was a post from the heart.
AB knows what world-class cricket looks like — and this Proteas team delivered. The legend sees a bright future. With Markram’s fearless batting and Temba’s calm authority, South Africa looks ready to dominate. Go Proteas!
