In the same match, the 1st ODI of India's 2011 tour of South Africa, where Rohit dismissed JP Duminy, he also managed to dismiss the dangerous, AB de Villiers.

ABD and JP had stitched a 131-run partnership and MSD, the Indian captain, had gone through all his mainstream bowling options. So, he turned to the part-timer Rohit Sharma, who was given the responsibility of effecting a dismissal.

Rohit didn't disappoint his captain, as he dismissed ABD on 76 in the 36th over when he holed out to Harbhajan Singh in the outfield. ABD was playing vicariously on 76 at a strike rate of 110+ and was the immediate threat to neutralize.

He followed it up by getting rid of JP too and ended with figures of 7-0-30-2 from the match. But, India ended up losing the match as the batsmen could manage a paltry 154 and were all out in the 36th over of the match.
