5 times when AB de Villiers was the lone warrior for South Africa and RCB in losing causes

2) 112 off 107 vs India (2015)

De Villiers has a superb record against India and loves playing against them. However, in this knock, he tried his level best to create a miracle but failed to do so. This would have to be one of the best centuries in a losing cause.

It came in the fourth of the five-match ODI series in 2015. The Proteas were leading the series 2-1 and ABD was captaining the Proteas team. However, a brilliant hundred by Virat Kohli meant that South Africa had to chase a mammoth total of 300.

South Africa kept on losing wickets at regular intervals but their captain stood tall like a wall. The “Mr. 360” went on to score a brilliant 112 from just the 107 deliveries. His monumental efforts weren’t enough as his side fell short of 35 runs and thus, lost the game.
