Piyush Chawla took the crucial wicket of in-form Jos Buttler to provide Mumbai Indians with their first breakthrough against Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 game at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday, April 22.
The leg-spinner bowled a googly to deceive and dismiss Buttler for 35 runs off 25 balls in an innings comprising six boundaries. The Royals lost their first wicket for 74 runs.
The dismissal came in the eighth over of RR's run chase. Chawla bowled a googly as Buttler went for a pull shot but was foxed as the ball sneaked in between the bat and pad and crashed onto the off-stump. It was also a quicker one (94 kmph) from the experienced spinner.
Watch the video below:
Buttler has been one of the leading run-scorers in IPL, scoring 285 runs in seven matches at a strike rate of 146.90, including two centuries against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
