Watch: Unbelievable! 41-year-old AB de Villiers pulls off stunning last-ball heroic in WCL 2025
41-year-old AB de Villiers (Screengrab) AB de Villiers may be 41, but the South African legend continues to defy age and expectations at the ongoing World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025. In a heart-stopping semifinal against Australia at Edgbaston, de Villiers proved once again why he's one of the greatest the game has ever seen, this time with a match-winning moment in the field. With Australia needing 3 runs off the final ball, Dan Christian managed only a scrambled single after squeezing Wayne Parnell 's pinpoint yorker toward long-on. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! But he picked the wrong man to test. De Villiers, patrolling the boundary, charged in, scooped up the ball at full tilt, and rifled in a rocket throw that crashed into the stumps at the non-striker's end. Watch: Nathan Coulter-Nile was nowhere close, and just like that, South Africa sealed a thrilling 1-run victory and booked their spot in the WCL final. Though his bat was quiet in the semifinal, de Villiers has been in explosive form this tournament. With two centuries and over 300 runs, he currently leads the run-scoring charts by a wide margin. His fielding has also turned heads with acrobatic catches, sharp run-outs, and reflexes that seem untouched by retirement or time. South Africa had earlier posted 186/8, riding on a blazing 76 off 35 from Morne van Wyk alongside JJ Smuts. Australia fought back through Chris Lynn and Shaun Marsh, but Wayne Parnell's clutch spell, including two wickets in the powerplay and a nerveless final over, set the stage for de Villiers' last-ball heroics. Now captaining the South Africa Champions, AB will lead his side into the final against an unbeaten Pakistan Legends side that reached the final after a walkover in their semifinal. With one game to go, the stage is set for one more de Villiers masterclass. For real-time updates, scores, and highlights, follow our live coverage of the India vs England Test match here.

In a candid chat on Raj Shamani's podcast, the cricketer spoke about heartbreak, healing, and how public speculation made things worse for everyone involved. Chahal firmly dismissed the dating buzz.

On whether he's open to love again, he admitted, 'It will take time to process. I need to gather myself. I'm not afraid to fall in love again, but I'm scared of losing the person because I get attached with all my heart.' Rumours linking him to Mahvash intensified after they were spotted together during a Champions Trophy game, but Chahal said things were taken out of context. 'We had a Christmas dinner with five people, but the photo was cropped to make it look like just the two of us were on a dinner date,' added Chahal.

Yuzvendra Chahal breaks silence on divorce with Dhanashree, 'cheating' allegations: 'I had suicidal thoughts'
Senior India cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, on Thursday, broke his silence on his divorce from Dhanashree Verma. He opened up about what went wrong in their five-year marriage and spoke about his mental health struggles after facing cheating allegations amid divorce rumours earlier this year. Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma got divorced earlier this year, in May(dhanashree9/Instagram) Chahal and Dhanashree married in 2020, but cracks in the relationship began to show by the third year of marriage. Speaking to Raj Shamani on his YouTube channel, the 35-year-old revealed that the two had chosen to keep their separation process private until it was finalised. "It was going on for a long while. We decided we do not want to show the people. Who knew if it did not happen? Maybe it will become a different scenario. We were like until we reached a point of no return, we are not going to say anything. We will be like a normal couple on social media," said Chahal. When pressed about whether he was faking it at that time, Chahal nodded his head, implying, 'Yes.' The Indian leg-spinner explained that both he and Dhanashree were deeply focused on their respective careers, making it difficult to prioritise the relationship, and hence, with time, the emotional disconnect grew. He added that relationships require compromise, but sometimes two people's personalities or ambitions may not align. "A relationship is like a compromise. If one gets angry, the other has to listen. Sometimes the nature of two people does not match. I was playing for India, she was also doing her. This was going on for 1-2 years. "At that point, I was so much into it, I had to give time here, give time there. I was not able to think about the relationship. Then it happens every day, you think, leave it. Two ambitious people can stay together. Everyone has their own lives. Everyone has their own goals. As a partner, you have to support it. You are working for something for 18-20 years, you cannot leave it for a relationship," Chahal added. Chahal also opened up about being called a "cheater" during the divorce proceedings earlier this year. "I think when my divorce happened, people alleged me of being a cheater. I have never cheated in my life. I am not that kind of a person. You won't find anyone more loyal than me. I think from my heart for my closed ones, always. I do not demand, I always give. When people don't know anything, but they keep blaming me, so you start thinking [otherwise]," the India bowler said. "Because I have two sisters and have grown up with them since childhood, I know how to respect women, because my parents have taught me how to respect them. I've learnt my life lessons from people around me. It is not necessary that if my name is being linked to someone, people get to write anything about it, only for views," the Haryana-born commented. 'Suicidal thoughts' Chahal admitted that facing public scrutiny and his personal struggles at the same time took a serious toll on his mental health. He revealed that he went through sleepless nights, slipped into depression, and even had suicidal thoughts. "I had suicidal thoughts, I was tired of my life, I used to cry for 2 hours. I used to sleep just for 2 hours. It went for 40-45 days. I wanted a break from cricket. I was so busy in cricket. I was not able to concentrate. I used to sleep for 2 hours. Used to share suicidal thoughts with my friend. I used to get scared," he said.
