AB does it again like he never left the game! AB de Villiers was excellent against England Champions, scoring a 41-ball century, he led his side to a brilliant win.

Facing 51 deliveries, AB de Villiers scored an unbeaten 116 runs, which was laced with 15 boundaries and seven maximums. On the other hand, Amla played a supportive knock, which came in 25 balls.

AB de Villiers delivered a vintage masterclass in the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025, leading the South Africa Champions to a commanding 88-run victory over the India Champions at The County Ground in Northampton on Tuesday.

The 41-year-old invoked memories of his cricketing heyday, delivering a performance that left fans buzzing.

Walking onto the pitch, De Villiers was an instant crowd favourite, and he certainly did not disappoint. He aggressively launched into the Indian bowlers, accumulating an impressive 63 not out off just 30 balls at a blistering strike rate of 210.

His innings included three fours and a staggering four sixes, each shot echoing the flair and finesse that has been synonymous with his career.

But what will live long in the memory though is what he did in the dismissal of Yusuf Pathan, rolling back the years with some boundary heroics. Welcome back AB...

WHAT HE SAID:

🗣️ "It felt like the old days out there. The body’s a bit sore, but the heart is full. Playing with these legends again, in front of such a crowd, is something special. I just wanted to enjoy myself and contribute to the team."
