When Bryant was dismissed by Rashid Khan, more than 30,000 people were on their feet, cheering loudly, to welcome AB de Villiers to Aussie territory. The superman didn’t disappoint, crunching a cover drive on the very first ball to announce his arrival and the Twitterati went berserk over the same.
