5 Greatest Test Innings by AB de Villiers

126* against Australia at Port Elizabeth (Mar 2018)

On a typical Port Elizabeth wicket, Australia was bundled out for 243 just after Tea on Day 1 but they fought back and removed Aiden Markram early as South Africa went to stumps at 39/1 with Dean Elgar (11) and night-watchman Kagiso Rabada (17)

On Day 2, after a period of brief consolidation, South Africa suffered a dramatic collapse as they lost 4 wickets for 28 runs post the tea break and at 183/6, Australia was being hopeful of restricting the first innings lead to under 100. But, they couldn't get past AB de Villiers.

With Philander and Keshav Maharaj making useful 30s, it was a vintage ABD show as he finished unbeaten on 126 with a strike rate in excess of 80 and helped South Africa attain a lead of 139 as the Proteas finished on 382.

Kagiso Rabada took matters in his own hands during Australia's 2nd innings as they folded for 239 and South Africa achieved the target of 101 runs without any fuss.
