IPL: Greatest performances in must-win matches

#3 AB de Villiers vs. Gujarat Lions (2016)

AB de Villiers has produced a handful of memorable IPL knocks

After playing 12 games in IPL 2016, the Royal Challengers Bangalore had notched up just 8 points. Their only way of making it to the playoffs was straightforward but improbable - win their remaining four matches. Their first game out of these four was against the Gujarat Lions, who ended the league as table toppers.

The Royal Challengers batted first and were struggling at 19-1 in 3.5 overs. What followed was the biggest partnership in IPL history. The reliable duo of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers added 229 runs to the board and took the Royal Challengers Bangalore to an incredible total of 248. In response, the Gujarat Lions could notch up just 104 runs, which was lesser than either Kohli or AB's runs

AB's innings was unforgettable. He showed exactly why he's popularly known as 'Mr.360'. He hit 10 fours and 12 sixes in his 52-ball 129.
