Buttler was dropped by Harpreet Brar on three but to Punjab Kings’ relief, the mistake did not cost them a lot.

On the fourth ball of the last powerplay over, Ellis bowled it full and at the stumps. Buttler looked to play the ball on the leg side with a flick but ended up hitting it into his pad. The ball ricocheted off his bat and hit his pad and went up in the air as the Aussie bowler raced forward and bent down to complete the catch.

WATCH:

Buttler walked back having made 19 runs from 11 balls, including one stroke to the boundary and one over it.

Earlier, Buttler had taken two stunning catches to dismiss Prabhsimran Singh and Shahrukh Khan.
