AB de Villiers' calling card in international cricket is 'Superman', thanks to some superhuman things he does on the field. Besides being the holder of some batting records, the South African is known for pulling off outrageous shots and till the time he is on the crease, expect the unexpected. You might have frequently heard of shots like the reverse sweep, upper cut - well, AB de Villiers has now added another never-seen-before shot to his arsenal -- the reverse scoop. During the fourth one-day international between South Africaand New Zealand, fans witnessed the stunning shot and took to Twitter to praise the genius of AB.
What is even more amazing is that De Villiers pulled off impossible shot against one of the best pacers going around the world today -- Trent Boult.
The South African was setting himself to play the reverse sweep but Boult pulled the length back. De Villiers adjusted brilliantly and went through with the shot, which left fans and commentators amazed.
