Pace excites like nothing else and Anrich Nortje testified that in the third over of the RR innings as he bowled at 148.3, 152.3, 152.1, 145.3, 156.2, 155.2 km/h in his first over. But as you know these modern-day batsmen don't flinch, especially, if it's a Jos Buttler, who adds salt to injury by scooping bowlers as he did against Nortje hitting back-to-back fours, taking his unconventional tricks out of the bag and dominating the pacer like a boss.

Having scored a six and two fours off the over, all felt Buttler would further humiliate the DC pacer, but then revenge is best served cold. On the final delivery of the over, with Buttler winning the exhilarating battle between unorthodox shots and raw pace, Nortje showed why pace is pace yaar. Despite getting scooped, the fast bowler didn't leave bowling full-lengths as he clocked a 155.1kph 'rocket' to uproot Jos Buttler's stumps, who, this time, tried going for a conventional shot but was way too slow. Even Brett Lee couldn't hold his excitement in the commentary box, as he jumped with glee as Nortje outpaced a slow Buttler.
