The famous punch line “Pace is Pace Yaar” was born after Wahab's over and its loose English translation would mean real pace is the real deal.

The PTI looks at five bowlers, who have the ability to make a difference for their respective teams. With no Jasprit Bumrah in the Indian line-up, the ‘Men In Blue' are missing a trick.
