Played his sixth match of the season against Delhi Capitals during RCB and it turned out to be a thriller with Virat Kohli’s one-run win with men. De Villiers laid the foundation for the win in Masa, who blasted 22 runs from the last over of RCB’s innings (23 totals including wide) to push them into a challenging total.

Marcus Stoinis bowled that unfortunate over and managed to dismiss de Villiers with a Swedish delivery for which the batsman put his hand on his shoulder after smoking a six over for a long time. Realizing his mistake, the 37-year-old walked off-side and de Villiers hit it for a six despite Stoinis giving up short delivery.

“People may forget his real name, but always remember Mr. 360 degrees. I don’t think we should give him any other name because no matter how many you can come along? Sehwag told Cricbuzz.

When he dropped a few balls (one) from Marcus Stoinis outside off stump against the Delhi Capitals (during IPL 2021), he realized that he left a wrong ball. He walked out on the next ball and even though he was expecting a similar delivery, it was a short-pitched ball but he was still hit to hit a six.

Sehwag claimed that no batsman other than de Villiers will be able to make a connection with the ball.  “Only AB de Villiers could have done that. If there was another batsman he would have gone out and instead got wet or got out on a short ball. I think only de Villiers could have joined. Therefore, there is no need to look for any more adjectives or songs, or poems. 360 degrees is the right name, Sehwag said.
