Describing De Villiers as one of the 'best' cricketers in the world, Sangakkara said the 31-year-old was a wonderful player, both on and off the field.

He further asserted that De Villiers was the only player to have completely dominated in every format of the game, Sport24 reported.

De Villiers smashed eleven boundaries and one six in his 85-run knock in the first innings of the second Test against India in Bengaluru.

The third day of the second Test between India and South Africa was washed out without a ball being bowled due to incessant rain.

India are currently in 1-0 lead in the four-match Test series against South Africa following their 108-run win in the first Test.
