1. AB de Villiers 104* at Kanpur:

On a tricky two-paced pitch, de Villiers played a magnificent knock, mixing caution with aggression and carried his bat through. Coming into bat at 104/2 in 23.2 overs, he took time to gauge the pace and bounce on offer. At the end of 34 overs, he had faced 30 balls and scored only 18 run post which he decided to step on the accelerator and increase the South African run rate. He completed his half-century in the 42nd over and what followed was absolute carnage. He took the likes of Binny, B Kumar and Yadav to cleaners. With 2 overs remaining the South African skipper still need 20 more runs to complete his hundred and on the last ball he needed 2. He lofted an awesome six which ultimately proved the difference. SA won the dramatic match by 5 runs.
