AB de Villiers, during his playing days, was always someone whom India loved to watch in action though he represented South Africa. The Protean proved yet again why he is loved by millions of fans when he turned up for a practice session with the Mumbai wheelchair cricket team in Marine Lines.

‌AB de Villiers has been someone whom India adored as much as Virat Kohli or MS Dhoni for his unbelievable skillset on the field and humbleness and down-to-earth nature off it. The batter, who earned the tagline of Mr. 360 for his amazing ability to score runs all over the park, was in action yet again as he turned up for practice along with the Mumbai Wheelchair cricket team at Islam Gymkhana in Marine Lines.

The South African batter was all smiles and energy as he got ready for a batting stint on the wheelchair. He slipped into his new role comfortably hitting a six down the ground leaving the other players awestruck. He constantly interacted with the players and cracked jokes often tickling their funny bone.

He was very eager to score runs which was evident from his wheeling sprint across the wicket that earned applause and fist bumps from the team members. And ABD didn't forget to showcase his 360 skills yet again as he tried to ramp the ball behind the stumps. Though he could not connect the first delivery properly, the former wicketkeeper-batter perfected it in the next attempt as he scooped it over the keeper’s head.

Twitter showered its love on the former South Africa captain as he captured hearts with his million-dollar gesture.

Moment of the day!
