Buttler sacrificed his wicket for Yashasvi Jaiswal
Although the nature of Buttler’s violation was not made clear, it appears to be related to his disobedience after being run out on Thursday. It occurred in the second over of RR’s chase, fourth ball. A delivery from Harshit Rana put Buttler on the back foot. The non-striker, Yashasvi Jaiswal, started searching for a single right away. Buttler put his hand up to reject Jaiswal but was a little tardy due to the impact of the delivery.
But the young left-hander was focused on the single. When Buttler saw that Jaiswal had reached the midway point, he ran, almost losing his wicket because he could not make it to the other end. Andre Russell of KKR immediately scooped up the ball and removed the stumps. Nobody was surprised when Buttler was far from his crease. Buttler gave up his wicket for Jaiswal, who had just surpassed the record for the most runs scored in an IPL innings’ opening over, but he turned to the young player and shook his head in sadness after getting run out. As he made his way back to the pavilion, he kept objecting.
