WCL 2025: AB de Villiers Shines With Stunning Catch As Rain Halts India vs South Africa Clash
The much-anticipated World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 match between India Champions and South Africa Champions saw dramatic twists before rain interrupted play.
South Africa, led by AB de Villiers, posted a strong total of 208/6 in 20 overs, thanks to a blistering 63 off 30 balls* by de Villiers. Piyush Chawla and Yusuf Pathan took two wickets each for India Champions.
India’s chase got off to a disastrous start, slumping to 44/5 in 7.1 overs. AB de Villiers delivered again — this time in the field — pulling off a miraculous boundary catch to dismiss Yusuf Pathan, drawing comparisons to the best in the game. His airborne effort and mid-air flick to teammate Sarel Erwee left fans and players stunned.
Rain halted play shortly after, just as Irfan Pathan and Stuart Binny were looking to stabilize the innings.
India Champions’ top order collapsed early, with Shikhar Dhawan, Robin Uthappa, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, and Yusuf Pathan back in the pavilion. Skipper Yuvraj Singh is yet to bat.
This is India’s opening match in the tournament, after they declined to face Pakistan Champions. South Africa had earlier won their match against West Indies Champions in a thrilling bowl-out.
As fans eagerly await resumption, all eyes remain on Yuvraj Singh to lead a comeback — if rain allows.
