Nortje wins battle with Buttler

Delhi Capitals winning the toss opted to bat first and posted 161/7 after 20 overs thanks to Shreyas Iyer and Shikhar Dhawan’s half-centuries. Rajasthan Royals chasing DC’s target started with Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes opening the innings. Buttler was in his usual best and played his trademark scoop shot to Nortje in the third over.

Buttler quickly piled up 22 runs in just 9 balls of the innings. He smashed three fours and a six. However, Nortje eventually won the fierce battle between the two after picking up his wicket with the quickest ball in IPL 2020.
