10 best AB de Villiers innings

#7 116 vs Australia, Port Elizabeth, 2014

AB de Villiers's 116 helped South Africa post a big first innings score

This innings of 116 showed the other side of AB de Villiers – the De Villiers who was capable of producing a gritty knock when the team’s back was against the wall.

Against an Australian side which was fresh off a 5-0 Ashes whitewash of England and on the back of a win in Centurion (first test) where Mitchell Johnson took 12-fer, AB de Villiers weathered the storm and dug deep to compile a majestic 116 to take his team from 200/5 to 423 in the first innings.

Yes, he was ably supported by JP Duminy, but De Villiers took the responsibility and helped South Africa post a good total and eventually level the series with a 231-run win.
