<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-5-players-royal-challengers-bangalore-rcb-can-retain-after-ab-de-villiers-retirement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AB de Villiers</a>, the legend of the game after he announced his retirement from all forms of cricket, the fans are in heavy distress and it is indeed disappointing when fans think about not seeing this player again in this wonderful game. He being retired from International cricket in 2018, continued to play the other T20 Leagues all over the World.

But now through his Twitter handle, he has officially informed about his retirement from this sport thoroughly. He is the player who entertained the fans with his innovative 360-degree shots and through his spirit of the game, he has always enthralled everyone’s heart including the opposition’s. This 37-year-old-player debuted in the inaugural edition of the IPL in 2008 for Delhi Daredevils.

Mr.360 was then bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2011 and has been a consistent star player for the team over the years. He reserved a special place not only in the hearts of RCB fans but also in the whole of the cricketing community and will surely be missed. There are a lot of innings that describe his supremacy but let&#8217;s take a look at his Best 5 knocks in the IPL.

One of the unforgettable knocks in 2012 came from the bat of AB de after he donned the RCB jersey in 2011.  After <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/i-am-an-rcbian-forever-ab-de-villiers-opens-up-on-his-wonderful-relationship-with-rcb-as-he-bids-adieu-to-cricket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RCB </a>decided to field first in that match, the opposition posed a total of 181 with a blistering 73 of Dhawan and from the good contribution of the other players.

After the team lost two wickets in an over, AB de came to bat at 5 in the 15th over when 74 runs were needed off 35 deliveries. After scoring three runs off four balls, he started to showcase his talent by hitting a reverse sweep which went for a four.

(Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

This knock would definitely be lingering in the minds of the people who have heard the retirement news earlier. It is one of the finest knocks ever in IPL history. This came in the year 2015 in a match against Mumbai Indians at their home ground.

RCB decided to bat first in that match and after the wicket of Gayle in the fourth over, AB de was promoted to bat at number 3 and along with <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/this-hurts-my-heart-virat-kohli-showers-love-on-ab-de-villiers-after-latters-retirement-from-all-cricket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a>, they went on to create history by scoring the then highest partnership of 215 and this still remains as the second-highest partnership in this tournament.

He started his inning with five dot balls facing Malinga. After his steady start, he stepped onto the accelerator and went to hit his highest and the tournament’s 3rd highest individual score of 133* with 19 boundaries and four sixes. As said earlier, this is a master class inning from Mr.360.

4. 129* from 52 balls against Gujarat Lions

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-581201" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/AB-de-Villiers-129-v-GL.jpg" alt="AB de Villiers' 129* v GL" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-581201" class="wp-caption-text">AB de Villiers&#8217; 129* v GL. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

In the match against Gujarat Lions in 2016, many records were shattered by the explosive AB de and the fellow partner Virat Kohli. RCB were put to bat first and after the single-digit exit of Gayle, AB de was called in at number 3 and one of the greatest displays of batting was witnessed that day.

He scored 129 runs in just 52 deliveries and remained at the crease till the end. The team scored 248 runs which still remains the second-highest team total. Virat and AB de broke their previous record of the highest partnership of 215 and they went to partner each other for 229 runs which still remains untouchable. This duo will be remembered forever.

His century came off just in 43 deliveries and it is the fifth-fastest century in the tournament. He hit 10 fours and 12 sixes (4th highest sixes in an IPL inning by an individual) and since then, his 112 of 129 runs came only with boundaries and sixes.

5. 79* from 47 balls against Gujarat Lions

(Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

There are many other knocks in which this batter has scored more runs or has had better strike rates but still, this remains to be one memorable inning due to the importance of this match. This happened in 2016 against Gujarat Lions in the first qualifier knockout match.

The RCB team had always done well in the chasing and hence they decided to chase in that crucial qualifier and the Gujarat Lions gave RCB the target of 159. The team lost their prime openers, Gayle and Kohli, for a single-digit score and the team looked bristle. RCB lost their other wickets too and they were in a terrible position with the situation being 69-6 in 9.4 overs.

It was clearly in the hands of Gujarat Lions except for the concern of Mr.360 in the other end. He was their only hope and had a task to survive amongst the falling wickets and had always to take a look at the ticking run rate. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/it-will-stay-with-me-throughout-my-career-harshal-patel-opens-up-on-the-career-defining-advice-he-received-from-ab-de-villiers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">De Villiers</a> kept on building up the innings and eventually led the team to the victory and to the finals. He has always anchored the team but has also been explosive.
