Whenever it comes to modern cricket and the invention of new shots, only one player's name comes to everyone's lips and that is former South African great batsman AB de Villiers.

De Villiers used to play shots all around the field and that is why fans and the whole world know him as Mr. 360. However, now former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has named two such players who are better than de Villiers and are complete 360 ​​players.

Ab de Villiers was the first one to get the name Mr. 360

Let us tell you that fans were also excited to watch de Villiers' batting and waited for his batting.

Whenever he came on the field, he used to entertain the audience a lot. Earlier in cricket, one thing was said that one should play by keeping the bat straight and shots should be hit in front only.

However, de Villiers proved this wrong and he played more shots behind the field than in front of the field. Due to his ability to play shots in all four corners of the field, he started being called Mr. 360. Now Ponting has told who is a complete 360 ​​player.

Ricky Ponting took the name of Suryakumar Yadav

India's star batsman Suryakumar Yadav is currently one of the best batsmen in the world in T20 cricket. He is currently ranked second in the ICC rankings in this format and Ponting has described him as a complete 360 ​​player.

Surya is currently batting brilliantly in this format and due to Rohit Sharma's retirement from this format, he has also been appointed the captain of India's T20 cricket team.

In such a situation, Ponting sees Surya as a real 360 player.

Ponting also called Glenn Maxwell a complete 360 ​​player

The former Australian captain has not chosen de Villiers as the second player and has included his compatriot Glenn Maxwell in it. Maxwell is also a player who is considered a very dangerous batsman in T20 cricket.

Maxwell has scored runs in his T20 cricket career with a strike rate of more than 154.

Not only this, he is the joint highest century scorer in this format along with India's Rohit Sharma and has scored 5 centuries.
