There’s no doubting that AB de Villiers is a special talent – almost superman-like, capable of doing anything. He has tried his hand at several sports – hockey, rugby, golf, badminton, tennis, swimming, not to forget cricket in the list – and met with a high degree of success in each one of them.

Thanks to his achievements on the cricket field over the last few years, AB de Villiers is now the top-ranked batsmen in Test cricket and One-Day cricket. On the occasion of de Villiers’ 100th Test match, here’s a peek at some of the lesser-known records he currently holds.

The cricket world might be in awe over his batting and his fielding skills, but one must not forget AB de Villiers is also stupendous with the wicket-keeping gloves on. Test cricket has been played since 1877, and ever since the very first Test match was played, only two wicket-keepers have managed to be part of 11 dismissals in a match: England’s Jack Russell, and South Africa’s AB de Villiers.
