NEW DELHI: Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler managed to avoid an injury and unintentionally helped his teammate Yashasvi Jaiswal secure a fortunate boundary during a recent match.
In an unusual moment, while positioned at the non-striker’s end, Buttler redirected an approaching ball towards the fence.
This incident occurred during the first over of the Royals’ innings chasing a target of 222, when Jaiswal hit a full delivery from Khaleel Ahmed straight down the ground.
As the ball sped towards Buttler, he attempted to evade the ball, but it hit his thigh pad and deflected towards the boundary despite slowing down slightly upon contact with Buttler.
