In Indian Premier League (IPL) Match No. 26 between the Gujarat Titans (GT) and the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Ekana Cricket Stadium, Shardul Thakur made a spectacular catch to eliminate the dangerous Jos Buttler.
After Rishabh Pant won the toss and chose to field first, Gujarat got off to an incredible start.
Before LSG launched a comeback, openers Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan shared a 120-run partnership in 12.1 overs.
One of the key elements that enabled the home team to significantly recover towards the conclusion of the innings was their fielding.
Buttler attempted a sweep for a boundary on the fourth delivery of Digvesh Rathi’s 17th over. But with to some extra bounce, the former England white-ball captain was able to get a top-edge that went to Thakur’s left, a short fine-leg fielder. The Mumbai all-rounder kept his sights on the ball as he scampered over the pitch. Ultimately, the 33-year-old made a spectacular catch while diving. Buttler left for a 16 off 14 balls.
