Replacing AB de Villiers would be a tall order for any player, but Rassie van der Dussen has made a fist of it at the World Cup.
“That’s something the biggest players in sport have in common — they want to perform when the pressure’s on and when the stage is at its biggest.“Did it affect me? No.“Do I have to replace him? I don’t feel I have to.“It didn’t have as big an effect as I think people would like to believe it did.” “It’s not necessarily the best question to be asked of me because I’m involved, and had he not retired it definitely would have influenced me directly,” Van der Dussen said.
“He had a fair chance to manage that, and he said no and he’s happy to retire. Faf accepted it, Ottis accepted it, and they stood by it.” Van der Dussen was selected instead, and has repaid that faith by scoring 50, 41 and 22 at the World Cup.
