Cricket Legend AB de Villiers Wears Amusing Disguise at SA20 Match, Video Goes Viral: WATCH

AB de Villiers, who played cricket for South Africa, dressed up and accessories to resemble someone else and no one realized it was him. Villiers went to one of the SA20 cricket games recently but didn't sit where the special people sit. Instead, he chose to relax on the grassy spots where people sit to watch the game. Villiers posted a video Thursday to show his fans.

AB de Villiers put on a fake large beard and glasses and went to a SA20 cricket game without anyone knowing it was him. de Villiers just looked like another common person in the crowd, so almost no one guessed it was him. de Villiers made a video and put it on social media and even on his YouTube channel so everyone could watch it.

In the video, he shows us what it was like to watch the cricket game when he was just a regular fan, and it is very enjoyable to see.

I shared my experience of going to the @SA20_League, in disguise, as a fan, in this week’s #360Show.

I also stepped back into the nets for a bit of cricket coaching session.

Joe Root from England played well in an exciting T20 cricket game in SA20. AB de Villiers was there watching. The teams playing were the Paarl Royals and the Pretoria Capitals. It was incredibly thrilling.

Pretoria decided to bat first and scored 212 runs for 5 wickets. Will Smeed scored more than 50 runs and Jimmy Neesham scored 28 runs very quickly in just 13 balls. When the Royals had their turn, they didn't start well because their top-rate starter, Lhuan Dre-Pretorius, got out on the first ball, he did not score any runs.

But Joe Root and Ruben Hermann did great work and played together to score 125 runs for their team. Their good playing was not going well though, because in the 12th over Neesham took Hermann's wicket.

Joe Root did a really good job scoring 92 runs in the game. And then David Miller, who's the captain of the team, scored 48 runs in just 24 balls. Together, Joe and David kept calm and helped the Royals win the game in a very thrilling ending. 

AB de Villiers is a very good cricket player. Villiers spoke to Melinda Farrell on YouTube and said, "he might play cricket again, but not in games such as the IPL because they are tough. Villiers said he would like to play again but only for enjoyment, where he can relax and have fun with the game."

“I may still play cricket one day. No promises, though,” he said. “My kids are putting a bit of pressure on me, and I feel like it would be fun to hit the nets with them.”
