IPL Records: Fastest fifty for each team in 2012

#4. AB de Villiers: Royal Challengers Banglore (21 Balls)

AB De Villiers

"Mr. 360 degree" also makes the list. In 2012, AB de Villiers played the role of the finisher at number 5, as the top order was occupied by players like Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli and Tillakaratne Dilshan.

Like Duminy, his ability to score runs at a good strike-rate helped him in scoring massive runs at the death overs. He scored a total of 319 runs at a strike-rate of 39.87, which included three 50+ scores.

In the match against Rajasthan Royals, coming in at the back end of the innings, he scored fifty in just 21 balls and finished the innings at an unbeaten score of 59 from 23 balls, which included 3 fours and 5 sixes. This helped his team in posting a massive score of 189 runs, which helped RCB to win the match by 46 runs.
