5 Incredible Knocks that separate AB de Villiers from the rest

5. 217* v/s India:

After the 319 from Virender Sehwag in the opening test of the 2008 series, many thought that they had seen it all. But AB de Villiers had different ideas. After the first test ending in a high scoring draw SA were looking to inch ahead in Ahmedabad and de Villiers provided just the right knock to seal the initiative after Dale Steyn wrecked havoc to dismiss the home team for a paltry 76 in the first innings. Considering the calibre of the Indian attack this was certainly a knock to be cherished for the South African star. The visitors went on to win the match by an innings.
