PBKS vs RR: Watch - Jos Buttler Plucks One-Handed Screamer To Dismiss Shikhar Dhawan
Rajasthan Royals (RR) opener Jos Buttler pulled off one of the catches of the IPL 2022 season to send back Punjab Kings (PBKS) opener, Shikhar Dhawan, during their day game on Saturday.
RR lost the toss for the 10th time out of 11 games this season as Sanju Samson’s torrid luck continued. However, it came as a surprise that Mayank Agarwal opted to bat first.
Jonny Bairstow finally got going this season, landing punches after punches in the powerplay to get PBKS underway. Dhawan at the other end was struggling quite a bit, failing to time the ball.
He was finally put out of his misery by Buttler. Dhawan danced down the track and tried to lob the ball over mid-on, only to mistime it. Buttler waited and nailed the timing of the jump, pulling off a spectacular one-handed catch.
Earlier, Rajasthan made only one change in their lineup with Karun Nair being benched and Yashasvi Jaiswal making a return to the playing XI. As for PBKS, they stuck with the same team that defeated table-toppers, Gujarat Titans.
Rajasthan Royals (Playing XI): Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson(w/c), Devdutt Padikkal, Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Sen
Punjab Kings (Playing XI): Jonny Bairstow, Shikhar Dhawan, Mayank Agarwal(c), Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma(w), Rishi Dhawan, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh, Sandeep Sharma
