Jos Buttler was run out on 0 (PC: iplt20)
New Delhi. Rajasthan Royals defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 9 wickets in the 56th match of IPL 2023. Rajasthan achieved the target of 150 runs 41 balls earlier. It was a memorable match for Rajasthan, but what happened in this match with its opener Jos Buttler. She first sacrificed for Yashasvi Jaiswal and then also faced the punishment.
If Butler had not been there, there would have been no praise for Yashasvi Jaiwal today. If Butler had not saved him by sacrificing himself, he would not have been able to score the fastest fifty in IPL history in 13 balls. Butler saved him from getting out for 27 runs.

eye on the ball
In fact, Butler played the fourth ball of Harshit Rana’s second over towards point. He had seen that the ball had reached the hands of Andre Russell. He did not want to take the risk even of taking a single. Yashasvi Jaiswal went out for a single from the other end. Russell immediately threw the ball towards the non-strike end.
Delay in stopping Jaiswal
Butler signaled Jaiswal to stop, but by then it was too late. Jaiswal had crossed the halfway crease. In such a situation, Butler had no other option to save Jaiswal from run out. He decided to sacrifice himself. He kept his leg out of the crease.
