At first, it looked like the ball will fall in no man’s land but Jos Buttler covered some good ground as he knew the importance of this wicket. Buttler made a full-stretch dive, got both hands to the ball, and made sure to hold onto the catch despite falling on the ground.

Jos Buttler’s diving catch ended Prabhsimran Singh’s heroic innings which included 7 fours and 3 maximums. It also allowed Rajasthan Royals to make a comeback in the RR vs PBKS contest after conceding 90 runs in the first 10 overs.

After the dismissal of Prabhsimran, Shikhar Dhawan accelerated the innings. He went on to score a crucial 56-ball 86 and took his team to a mammoth total of 197-4 by the end of 20 overs.
