5 times when AB de Villiers was the lone warrior for South Africa and RCB in losing causes
Over the years, AB de Villiers has been the backbone for South Africa and RCB.
4) 56 off 32 vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (2020)
The Protests legend has been one of the greatest players in IPL history, he has also been synonymous with RCB. There’s a reason why the fans at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore keep chanting his name whenever he walks in to bat. However, he had to be the one-man army for his franchise on numerous occasions.
One of them was in 2020 against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). The fact that it came in the Eliminator made it even more special. The Proteas batter came to bat in the third over when his side lost two wickets for just the 15 runs.
In tricky and testing conditions, he went on to score a superb 56 off just the 32 deliveries at a strike rate of 130.23. Despite all his efforts, he kept running out of partners and RCB thus ended up scoring just the 131. SRH ended up chasing it, which resulted in RCB getting knocked out of the tournament.
