WATCH | AB de Villiers hits incredible improvised six against Kings XI Punjab

On the penultimate delivery of the innings, seeing AB advance down the pitch, Mohit Sharma bowled a full slower ball way outside the batsman's off stump. But that was not enough to stop the rampant de Villiers, who had already scored 77 off just 44 balls. The South African went down to one knee, stretched his arms to the maximum and smashed the ball over long-off boundary for a six. But the proverbial fireworks didn't end there with de Villiers, on his ninth attempt, finally clearing the roof of the Holkar Stadium. 

On his return to the RCB team, de Villiers was called as early as the first over of the game after Shane Watson was dismissed. However, with wickets tumbling around him, the South African was tentative in his shot making. But with RCB staring down the barrel at 80/4 in just 16 overs, de Villiers decided to come out of his shell and scored an incredible 51 off just 16 balls to take RCB to 148 in the stipulated 20 overs.
