Fear of failure helps AB focus

-

The high-risk game that he plays involves a “fear of failure” which has pushed the talismanic AB de Villiers to focus even more on dealing with the various challenges of T20 format.

Asked how he manages to do that year after year, de Villiers replied: “It’s not always very enjoyable. I try and play the situations that I am confronted with in the best possible way, sounds pretty simple. But fact of the matter is that when you bat in the middle order, the situation changes every time. Fear of failure always pushes me to focus more on the ball and do basics better. Try and get a start.”
