Mohammad Kaif writes, ‘Captains around the world now relax. The player for whom you could never set the field is now retired. De Villiers took out many new shots, kept searching for gaps in new ways. He was the biggest entertainer of cricket.
Captains across the world relax! The man for whom you couldn’t set the field has retired. Ab de Villiers invented new strokes, found gaps that no one knew even existed and was one of cricket’s great entertainer. @ABdeVilliers17

There is no doubt in my mind that @ABdeVilliers17 has been one of the most influential players of his generation. A genius, a true successor to Lara. Wish you well AB. I am sure your countless fans at @RCBTweets will want to give you a fitting send-off. You were a great combo.
