5) AB de Villiers’ special innings
Trending
It needed the special innings from this man to get RCB over the line. When he came to bat, his usual partner-in-crime, Virat Kohli, was already gone. Then Chris Gayle fell in front of him followed by the in-form Lokesh Rahul and the experienced Shane Watson.
However, cometh the occasion, cometh the man. And the man here was the South African. This just goes to show how a star-studded batting line-up does wonders for a team. If Gayle can’t get you, Kohli will. If Kohli doesn’t, Watson will. If even the Australian doesn’t, then ABD will.
From 68/6, he led the chase and won the game even before it could reach the last over. He ended up with numbers of 79 after 47 deliveries—playing one of the best innings of his life.
