De Villiers, arguably the most destructive batsman on the planet, seemingly smashes record after record every time he walks out to bat. The second Test match against India allowed us to reflect on just how much he has done for South African cricket, as he brought up his 100th Test cap.

The Test series proved an unsuccessful one for the Proteas, but De Villiers was still able to top score for them throughout it, as they look to bounce back in the eagerly anticipated series against England. Yet another milestone lies in wait for the 31-year-old, as he is just 136 runs away from 8 000 Test runs.

De Villiers is the cover feature, as we lead you into the new year with a bang.

Also in the new issue:

– Kevin Pietersen and his prolific return to the Dolphins

– England on tour

– Stephen Cook and his Proteas’ dream

– Big year ahead for Vernon Philander

– Roelof van der Merwe settling into life in the Netherlands
