Recently, New Zealand cricket player Kane Williamson picked South African cricketer AB De Villiers as the greatest T20 player of all time. But as a cricket enthusiast, it is hard to deny that Ab de Villiers brings his talent to the field. However, when it comes to T20I cricket, I have to admit that he is not the best out there.

Don't get me wrong, de Villiers is a fantastic cricketer. He is known for his explosive batting style, incredible agility on the field, and impressive wicketkeeping skills. A star player for the South African national team for many years, his contribution to the game cannot be overlooked.

But when it comes to T20I cricket in particular, there are other players who perform better than de Villiers, especially against top teams in T20I cricket. While de Villiers has an impressive overall career strike rate of 135.16, his average (22.78) and strike rate (130.12) are very low Against the top 7 opponents in T20I Cricket

Chris Gayle, the West Indies powerhouse, cannot be overlooked when discussing T20I greatness. He has redefined the art of power-hitting in T20 cricket, unleashing innings filled with sixes that leave spectators in awe. Gayle's huge impact in T20 matches makes him one of the greatest.

De Villiers' T20I career has been relatively short compared to some of the other greats of the game. He retired from international cricket in 2018, and while he might still play in domestic leagues around the world, his T20I career is effectively over. In comparison, players like Chris Gayle, Afridi, and Kieron Pollard have been playing T20I cricket for over a decade and have amassed much larger numbers than de Villiers.

Yes, undoubtedly, he is a great T20I player, but he might not be the greatest. His statistics are impressive, but they are not the best in the world, especially when it comes against top teams in T20i cricket He has not won any major T20I tournaments with South Africa, and his T20I career has been relatively short. but he will always be remembered as one of the best cricketers of his generation, no doubt on that
