Twitter reacts to AB de Villiers lighting up BBL by striking a crunching boundary on his first ball
When Bryant was dismissed by Rashid Khan, more than 30,000 people were on their feet, cheering loudly, to welcome AB de Villiers to Aussie territory. The superman didn’t disappoint, crunching a cover drive on the very first ball to announce his arrival and the Twitterati went berserk over the same.
