VIDEO: Sarfaraz Khan's Bullet Throw Sends AB De Villiers Back To Pavillion
Even though AB De Villiers doesn't play professional cricket regularly, yet it still takes something special to get him out. The 37-year-old South African has looked off-color in the last few outings, but he was in the mood today when he was batting against Punjab Kings at Sharjah.
De Villiers and Glenn Maxwell were looking uncontrollable as they launched a brutal attack on PBKS' bowlers. The two shared a 73-run stand in just 39 balls for the fourth wicket. De Villiers hit 23 from 17 balls during which he hit two huge sixes and one four.
When ABD was looking in his element, Punjab had to do something special to stop him. Sarfaraz Khan, who was playing his first match in a while, was having a great on the field.

In the 19th over, De Villiers smashed one ball to the covers where Sarfaraz was patrolling. Mr 360 ran as soon as the ball touched the bat but Sarfaraz picked the ball quickly and threw which hit the stump directly. The South African was close but not close enough as he was adjudged run out by the third umpire.
