Let us tell you, the over that Anil Chaudhary is talking about was bowled by Dale Steyn during IPL 2012.

This match was played between Mumbai Indians and Deccan Chargers. During this, Dale Steyn took a wicket on the very first ball of the innings and then Rohit Sharma played the remaining five balls of the over, all of which were dot balls. Dale Steyn bowled brilliantly in this match. He gave only 10 runs in 4 overs and took 2 wickets. Although his team could not win this match, even then Dale Steyn was selected as the Player of the Match.

Rohit Sharma had said this about Dale Steyn

Let us tell you, Dale Steyn was such a fast bowler that even Rohit Sharma was afraid of him. Dale Steyn had troubled many batsmen during his career, including Rohit Sharma. Rohit Sharma once said in a conversation with 'Dubai I 103.8', 'I used to watch his (Dale Steyn) video about 100 times before going out to bat. He is a great player and what he has achieved in his career is amazing to see. It was good to come against him. I did not achieve much success against him, but I enjoyed my fight.'
