How to stop AB de Villiers juggernaut? Here's Ben Stokes' advice for IPL bowlers

De Villiers played a knock of 90 from just 39 balls, as RCB beat DD at M Chinnaswamy stadium on Saturday,

Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bangalore’s AB de Villiers was the man of the moment in the team’s six-wicket win over Delhi Daredevils (DD), as Virat Kohli’s men climbed to fifth in the Indian Premier League (IPL) points table.

While the entire cricketing fraternity heaped praise on ABD on Twitter, England’s Ben Stokes had a different version in his Tweet, giving an instance to dismiss de Villiers in a humorous manner.

In his tweet, Stokes attached a GIF of the infamous underarm incident, when Trevor Chappell bowled an underarm ball to New Zealand’s Brian McKechnie during a World Series Cup match back in 1981.

De Villiers played an unbeaten knock of 90 from just 39 balls, as RCB beat DD at M Chinnaswamy stadium here on Saturday, handing them their second win of the season.

Next up for RCB is a home game against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), whereas DD host Kings XI Punjab in their next matches.
