Jos Buttler’s explosive over shifts the momentum in GT’s favour

Jos Buttler started in strong form and then became very aggressive during the powerplay. Axar Patel gave the ball to Mukesh Kumar for the fifth over, but the move did not work as Buttler attacked him from the first ball.

On the first ball, Buttler played a fine scoop behind the wicketkeeper for a six. He followed it with another powerful six straight down the ground on the second ball. The third delivery was flicked neatly towards mid-wicket for a four. The fourth ball resulted in a dot as Buttler pushed it back to the bowler. He then struck a third six of the over, this time over the covers on the fifth ball. On the final delivery, he calmly took a single towards square leg to retain strike.

This over gave the Gujarat Titans 23 runs and changed the momentum of the match. Buttler quickly moved to 42 runs off just 16 balls and dominated the partnership with Shubman Gill. At the end of five overs, the Gujarat Titans were 63 for 1. However, Buttler was later dismissed in the 8.3 over by Kuldeep Yadav after he missed a pull shot and the ball hit the middle stump.
