The peculiarity of Indian Premier League is that it not only makes two different countrymen as teammates but also pitches the same countrymen against each other. It presented a wonderful opportunity to see AB de Villiers and Dale Steyn face-off against each other and those became moments to savor for in the tournament history.

IPL 5 saw one of the most enthralling encounters. With RCB requiring 39 off 3 overs, Steyn came on to bowl with figures 2-1-7-0. ABD smashed him all over the park for 23 runs to seal the deal in his team's favor.

Steyn got one back by bowling a remarkable spell that knocked RCB out of the tournament in 2012. But the superhuman in AB stunned the cricket fans with his 360-degree batting as he mauled Steyn for 23 runs, to which even Steyn applauded. The battle between two beasts at the top of their powers was one of the highlights of IPL.
