Since then, the South-African player is being hailed by the cricket community as ‘Spiderman’. Even cricket stalwart Virat Kohli couldn’t stop himself from lauding him.

Kohli said about ABD’s catch, “That was Spiderman stuff. You don’t do that as normal human beings. I thought it was going for a six but he pulled it off. He can do freakish things but I am used to it now. His fielding I am pretty used to now.”

Even other international players joined on in expressing astonishment at de Villiers’s catch.

AB de Villiers magical catch, coupled with his and Moeen Ali’s half-centuries enabled their team Royal Challengers Bangalore to defeat table-toppers Sunrisers Hyderabad by 14 runs.
