WATCH: Mohammed Shami sends Jos Buttler’s stumps flying with beautiful delivery, RR opener achieves unwanted feat
His dismissing Buttler means Rajasthan are in deep trouble as the team is heavily dependent on last year's Orange Cap holder's innings.
Mohammed Shami, Jos Buttler
Rajasthan Royals’ star batter Jos Buttler achieved an unwanted feat during the team’s match against Gujarat Titans (GT) courtesy of Mohammed Shami‘s beautiful delivery. The match took place on Sunday (April 16) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Chasing the 178-run target, RR fumbled in the Powerplay. First Hardik Pandya got rid of young gun Yashasvi Jaiswal for one run in the second over, then Mohammed Shami dismissed the dangerous Buttler.
Watch the video of Jos Buttler’s dismissal:
In the third over, Shami delivered it on length to the Englishman after which the latter attempted a scoop shot. But the ball went on to bamboozle the right stump off the ground. The interesting thing about this dismissal was that Buttler fell for a duck for the first time in seven years.

His dismissing Buttler means Rajasthan are in deep trouble. The Pink Jersey have lost several matches when the Brit failed with the bat as the team is heavily dependent on last year’s Orange Cap holder’s innings. This match also heading toward another upset for last year’s finalist.
At the crease right now, Sanju Samson and Shimron Hetmyer are playing and have taken the responsibility to take the team past the target. If RR lost the wickets of these two, then it will be difficult for the team to recover from there. They have so far scored 85 runs for four wickets in 13 overs.
In case you missed!
