5 Incredible Knocks that separate AB de Villiers from the rest

4. 278* v/s Pakistan:

The Sheikh Zayed cricket stadium in Abu Dhabi witnessed a herculean effort from South Africa’s favourite son in 2010.  Playing against Pakistan in what was effectively a home ground for them, AB showed tremendous zeal to overpower the spin threat on a slow track. The innings eventually ensured that South Africa went on to draw the second test of the series. That was also the second highest score by a South African in test cricket behind Hashim Amla’s 311.
