AB de Villiers has completely changed the complexion of the ongoing clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders in Sharjah. The former South Africa skipper slammed an unbeaten 73 from just 33 balls to help RCB post a daunting total of 194 for 2 in the allotted 20 overs.

RCB were on 94 for 2 in the 13th over when AB de Villiers joined skipper Virat Kohli in the middle. And in less than eight overs, the hard-hitting batsman helped his side amass exactly 100 runs. AB de Villiers was in such a stunning form that he completely outplayed Kohli.
