Jos Buttler Delighted to Receive Jersey from MS Dhoni after RR Win

On Monday, Jos Buttler had a memorable day in Abu Dhabi. The Rajasthan Royals batsman played an important role in his team’s seven-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings. Adding a special touch to this win, CSK skipper, MS Dhoni gave Buttler his jersey at the end of the match. The RR batsman has been overjoyed to receive the jersey from Dhoni.

The wicketkeeper-batsman helped his side to recover from a poor start by an unbeaten knock of 70 off 48 deliveries. The team chased down the target of 126 with ease with the help of Buttler’s knock. The pink team started off shakily as they lost three wickets early and found themselves staring at a score of 28 for 3 though they were chasing a modest score.

Ben Stokes began well and assisted Royals to score 20 in 2 overs before Deepak Chahar dismissed him during the last ball of the third over. Chahar ended the 26-run partnership of Stokes with Robin Uthappa. During the fourth over, Josh Hazlewood dismissed Uthappa. Chahar struck again to dismiss Sanju Samson for a three-ball duck.

Before CSK could make progress in the game, Steve Smith and Jos Buttler took matters in their hand and steadied their sinking boat. The pair shared an unbeaten partnership of 98 runs to guide their side and reached the target easily. With the help of seven fours and two sixes, the England star scored 70* off 48.

After the match, Jos Buttler received the valued souvenir from Dhoni. He posed with the jersey of CSK captain having a big smile on his face.

In the meantime, Steve Smith’s team has moved to the fifth position in the IPL points table with their fourth win of the season while CSK have moved to the eighth after their seventh defeat in IPL 2020.
