Jos Buttler is in action in IPL 2023 on Wednesday as Rajasthan Royals host Punjab Kings at the Assam Cricket Association in Guwahati.
The swashbuckling opening batsman is a destructive force at the start of the innings and RR will rely heavily on his ability to get the team off to a racing start against PBKS.
Jos Buttler's score today in RR vs PBKS
Jos Buttler came in at number three today and scored 19 off 11 balls before Nathan Ells picked up his wicket.
The 32-year-old wicket-keeper batsman had a stellar outing while fielding. He took two brilliant catches, the first one dismissed an in-form Prabhsimran Singh and the second one of Shahrukh Khan in the final over.
While taking the second catch he suffered a minor injury on his finger which prompted the decision of the team management to send R. Ashwin to open the innings alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal in place of the Englishman.
