Jos Buttler (L) was dismissed to Avesh Khan for the second time this season in just three balls. (P.C.:iplt20.com)Jos Buttler's drastic drop in form continues to cost the Rajasthan Royals (RR) as the star English opener once again failed to score big, this time against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).LSG speedster Avesh Khan had already dismissed Buttler once in the reverse fixture this season and managed to do it again. Jos Buttler tried to play his favorite scoop shot in the powerplay but failed to get any bat on the ball as it crashed into the off-stump.Avesh was understandably pumped up as Buttler has always been a big wicket for any opposition, especially this season. After the first seven games, Buttler was on course to break Virat Kohli's record of most runs in an IPL season (973).However, the last six games have been pretty average for him by his standards and that record now looks to be out of his reach. Fans on Twitter were a bit baffled to see Jos Buttler's fall from grace in the second half of IPL 2022. Some also trolled him and other fans who thought he would break Kohli's record.Here are some of the reactions:Udit@udit_buchButtler in 1st half was Kohli 2016 and in second half has been Kohli 202233Buttler in 1st half was Kohli 2016 and in second half has been Kohli 2022Vikram 🏏⚽@shortarmpullJos Butler not been the same after his statpadded innings against us at DY Patil, we finished his IPL 2022 1Jos Butler not been the same after his statpadded innings against us at DY Patil, we finished his IPL 2022 🔥🔥`@bccinlJos Buttler in : 1st half of IPL 2nd half of IPL2323208Jos Buttler in : 1st half of IPL 2nd half of IPL https://t.co/xW0FAsxGH7CricketMAN2@ImTanujSinghMost runs after 13 Innings in IPL:-•Virat Kohli - 865 in 2016.•Jos Buttler - 627 runs in 2022.3231258Most runs after 13 Innings in IPL:-•Virat Kohli - 865 in 2016.•Jos Buttler - 627 runs in 2022.Prithvi@Puneite_We thought he'll score atleast 700 - 750 in league stage.

Captain Sanju Samson joined him at the crease and the duo managed to smash 51 runs in the powerplay.Jaiswal slowed down a bit and Samson took over the responsibility of keeping the tempo of the innings going. However, both batters got dismissed at the wrong time for their IPL team as they looked well set to score big.Devdutt Padikkal also walked back to the pavilion despite a promising cameo. Riyan Parag and James Neesham kept the scoreboard ticking, but it was Trent Boult of all people, who played a handy cameo and helped RR post 178/6 in their 20 overs.LSG will still feel that with the kind of depth that they have and the pitch being good for batting, they can chase down the target and confirm a top-two finish for themselves.RR, on the other hand, will hope for some early breakthroughs as they desperately need the two points tonight.Catch the latest IPL score here every day!
