Is AB DeVillers the most entertaining player of all time?

[Stradlater]

The guy is unstoppable and a huge box office hit. Fantastic fielder and a gun batsman in every format of the game not to mention his breathtaking innovative shots.

 

I don't think I have ever seen any other cricketer command such a huge respect from the Indian crowds. These days he's almost like a local Bangalore lad.I mean how many times do you hear Indians cheering for an opposition batsman in a test match as we witnessed during the last test series against South Africa?

Gayle is more entertaining than AB on the field I guess, but AB is a brilliant fielder and batsman.

Gayle can only dream of hitting the ball 360 degrees around the park like AB does.

With Gayle it's mostly sheer power, while in the case of AB, its pure magic.

Gayle for me in T20i.

 

Nobody has matched him in this format. 

[velu]

gayle in T20s

sehwag in tests  

[Suhaan]

Nope Gayle is universe boss for a reason..its Gayle all the way in t20s

[maniac]

He is a very mediocre T20I player and even in IPL crapped at crucial situations...Not a fan

Depends on the definition of entertainment from anyone's POV as is visible with the various opinions. 

 

I would agree that its an absolute joy to watch him bat/field, whether in those tests against Aus earlier or the IPL game against SRH. His skill levels seem unparalleled.

Exactly 

Bishen Bedi and Phil Tufnell entertained me ......batting 

[Gollum]

I derive very little entertainment from T20s and ODIs. In tests for me undoubtedly Viru closely followed by KP and peak Ponting in terms of wholesome entertainment. But I also enjoy bowlers on fire, 3 stand out: Steyn on rampage mode, Anderson under cloudy skies with the red cherry, Ashwin on turners...when these 3 start peaking they rip through batting line ups and make complete fools of batsmen irrespective of quality.

[Gollum]

How awesome would it have been to watch this man live in action !!! Struts around like Yul Brynner, intimidating like Smokin' Joe, real life 'Black Panther', King of Kings Sir Isaac Vivian Alexander Richards.....I swear his pinkie will have more swag than all the superstars of today.

360 degree stuff is ugly.

[Muloghonto]

For me the two most entertaining batsmen to watch were Lara and Tendulkar. 
For pacers, it was Akram and Donald

For spinners it was Warney. 

For fielders, Jonty and Azhar.
