AB de Villiers on Top ODI Batsman:  South African veteran batsman AB de Villiers has been named the three best batsmen in ODI cricket. While answering the fans' questions on his YouTube channel, AB has named his three favorite opener batsmen in ODI cricket (Best top 3 ODI Openers). The fan questioned AB and asked him to name his top three ODI opener batsmen of all time, to which Mr. 360 reacted. After much thought, AB chose Australia's Matthew Hayden as number one. AB said that it is difficult for me to name the top three opener batsmen of all time right now, but I would like to talk about three favorite batsmen who can be better as openers in my view.

AB said I think Matthew Hayden will be number one for me. De Villiers said, "I like the style in which Hayden played. He was the most dangerous batsman as an opener in ODIs and Tests. Whether it was fast bowling or spinners, Hayden used to bat brilliantly against them".

At the same time, AB has named Virat Kohli as his favorite batsman at number two. AB said, "Even though Kohli has distanced himself from T20, he still has a lot of cricket left in him. Kohli used to open in IPL and T20. He can also score a lot of runs as an opener in ODIs. I would like to see him opening in ODIs as well". 

AB has also called Kohli the best batsman of all time. AB believes that Virat is going to give a lot to cricket in the coming times. Apart from this, de Villiers said, "I would like to name my third favorite batsman as a new generation batsman".
