AB de Villiers’ highest individual score of 278 in Test

In the scorching heat of Abu Dhabi, AB de Villiers pulled off a double century against Pakistan in 2010. He remained unbeaten on a score of 278 off 418 balls (23 fours and six sixes) and batted for 601 minutes. He played so selflessly that he didn’t disapprove of a declaration as the scoreboard read 584/9. The match was drawn, but de Villiers provided a fine example of how to adjust to foreign conditions.
