10 best AB de Villiers innings

**#6 217* vs India, Ahmedabad, 2008**

The second Test of South Africa’s tour of India in Ahmedabad ended inside three days after the curator had prepared a surface which assisted the quicks. After being rolled out for 76 on the first morning, India never stood a chance as De Villiers consolidated South Africa’s position of strength with a brilliant 217 (first double century by a South African against India).

He combined with Kallis to put on a 266-run stand for the fifth wicket to bat India out of the game. It was arguably one of the best innings by a South African in India.
