AB de Villiers had the perfect answer to the nasty short ball from Alzarri Joseph. On the second last ball of the 17th over AB received a nasty blow to the head. The ball bounced a bit more than usual and struck him on helmet’s grill. AB was looking to pull the ball on the front foot for a boundary but the ball was pinned right on his skull. AB immediately signaled Barbados Tridents’ skipper Kieron Pollard that he is fine by giving him a thumbs up. What came next was a perfect answer to the previous delivery. He smacked the next ball for a humongous six towards long-on. That shot showed the character AB carries to the field. ALSO READ: CPL 2016: Players involve in nasty head-on collision
