PICS: AB dries fan’s tears

A lot of people were pretty shocked when the Proteas legend retired from international cricket. Teenager Leo Sadler more than most...


AB de Villiers’ retirement from international cricket shocked a lot of people.

Yet Leo Sadler was affected more than most.

The 14-year-old from Pretoria was absolutely heartbroken and apparently couldn’t stop crying when he heard his cricketing hero had packed his bat and pads away.

Those tears were dried immediately when something unexpected happened … De Villiers came knocking at his door for a visit!

Listen to the Martin Bester breakfast show on Jacaranda FM on Thursday morning between 6am and 9am for the whole story.
