Kohli compares de Villiers to Spiderman after stunning catch

Former South African captain AB de Villiers aka Mr. 360 is known for his unorthodox hitting and is also famous for his stunning fielding efforts. However, his latest stunning catch has taken him to another level, with Virat Kohli comparing him with Marvel superhero ‘Spiderman’.

AB’s hitting and some electric fielding kept the hopes alive for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL 2018 on Thursday against table-toppers SunRisers Hyderabad.

It was a strange day for fielding at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. There were two absolute blinders by Villiers and Rashid Khan, but inexplicably one of the safest pair of hands in the field in world cricket, Kohli, dropped two sitters.

However, the dropped catches didn't dampen Kohli's spirits and after RCB's win, he took to Twitter to salute teammate Villiers for a miraculous catch that sent SRH's Alex Hales packing.

Englishman Alex Hales was looking dangerous, having already hit three sixes and two boundaries, but in the 8th over, Villiers took arguably one of the best catches to be ever taken on a cricket field, bringing to an end Hales' stay.

Kohli took to Twitter and compared Villiers to a Marvel superhero, saying he saw "SpiderMan live today".
