[Watch]: Jos Buttler take a superb one-handed catch; helps dismiss Shikhar Dhawan
Jos Buttler
The current orange cap holder, Jos Buttler took a superb catch to help Rajasthan Royals find the early breakthrough in their match against the Punjab Kings. As Punjab got off to a good start, Sanju Samson brought in his trusted veteran, Ravichandran Ashwin to find a way to stop Dhawan and Bairstow. Ashwin only took one ball to dismiss his former India teammate.
An in-drifter and Dhawan tried to hoik it over mid-on but only got the height, Buttler ran back and took a stunning one-handed catch. The Englishman timed his jump perfectly and manages to hang on to the ball to get Dhawan out and give Rajasthan their first wicket.

Johnny Bairstow finally got off to a good start for Punjab. Mayank’s decisions to play down the order and allow Bairstow to open could eventually pay dividends to the Punjab Kings. However, losing wickets at regular intervals means that the team won’t finish above 200 in the first innings. However, it is important for them to win the game if they are to keep their top 4 hopes alive.
Kagiso Rabada and Jos Buttler will be a good match up. Rabada is yet to reach his 2020 levels in the IPL and will be hoping this game can provide him with the breakthrough he needs.
