Former South Africa captain and legendary batter, AB de Villiers posted a hilarious tweet in X (formerly Twitter) in which he said that the SA20 franchise Durban Super Giants should play the T20 World Cup. AB de Villiers' tweet came in the backdrop of Durban Super Giants' strong performances in the ongoing SA20 competition. The South African great was also prompted to make the hilarious claim because of the team's composition, which includes some of the biggest names in T20 cricket.
AB de Villiers underlined that the franchise doesn't have any weakness, and perhaps, an outright pacer bowler can further bolster an already power-packed team.
"This @DurbansSG team should enter for the t20 World Cup. Difficult to see any weakness here! Maybe add one outright pacer(145km/h) and that is that," de Villiers said in a tweet.
The Durban Super Giants have been on a tear in the SA20 tournament. The franchise, which is being led by South Africa international Keshav Maharaj, has won six out of their eight matches and secured 28 points with an impressive Net Run Rate (NRR) of +1.757.
The Durban Super Giants' squad brims with proven match-winners in the shortest format of the game, both with the ball and the bat. In the batting department, the Super Giants have the services of Quinton de Kock, Nicholas Pooran, Heinrich Klaasen and Marcus Stoinis among others while in the bowling department, the franchise has the luxury of Maharaj, Naveen-ul-Haq, Reece Topley and Noor Ahmad among others.
In their most recent match, the Super Giants outmuscled Paarl Royals by 125 runs and the victory prompted AB de Villiers to post the tweet.
