Rajasthan’s star batter Jos Buttler has attracted the headlines for his amazing fielding heroics in the ongoing eighth match of the Indian T20 League against Punjab. Notably, both teams are playing at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. The hosts’ skipper Sanju Samson won the flip of the coin and decided to bowl first.
Coming back to Jos Buttler’s sensational catch, the moment came on the fourth ball of the 10th over of the Punjab innings when their opener Prabhsimran Singh was hitting Rajasthan bowlers around all the corners of the ground.
But it was Jason Holder who trapped Prabhsimran in a short ball which the latter played over the long off region. Buttler was placed in the region and he was quite a bit away from the range of the ball but he ran towards the ball and caught the ball with an amazing running dive.
The video of this amazing fielding excellence by the veteran Rajashtan star is now making rounds on social media within minutes of being shared by a user on the micro-blogging site Twitter.

Speaking of the ongoing action of the match, Prabhsimran had scored 60 runs off just 34 balls with seven boundaries and three sixes before falling prey to Jason Holder. Later on, Bhanuka Rajapaksa went back to the pavilion after getting retired hurt.
At the time of filling this copy, skipper Shikhar Dhawan has completed his half-century and has scored 57 runs off 39 balls with seven boundaries and a six on his credit. He is there in the middle alongside Jitesh Sharma (26 runs off 14 balls with two boundaries and a six) having Punjab on the score of 151 runs for the loss of only one wicket in 14.5 overs.
Jason Holder has scalped the only wicket so far in favor of Rajasthan. Notably, both teams have won their respective campaign openers and will be looking ahead to register their second consecutive win in the tournament.
