Indeed !
I didn’t know if I would say this but #ABDevilliers‘s retirement is hurting me more than Sachin’s retirement.
ABD is the only player who can make an Indian miss him more than Sachin.
Too Soon AB , too Soon 🙁#ThankYouAB

The crowd puller
@ABdeVilliers17 may have many achievements to his credit as a cricketer but importantly he will be remembered as a gentleman cricketer who drew people to grounds to watch the game. A legend of the game bids adieu. #ABDevilliers
