IPL 2022: Watch — Lockie Ferguson dismisses rampant Jos Buttler with a slower yorker

The match between Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans last night was a cracker of a contest, with some brilliant bowling by GT’s Lockie Ferguson. What delighted viewers most was Ferguson’s yorker to RR batter Jos Buttler, right after he was hit for a six. The perfect delivery by Ferguson castled Buttler back to the pavilion and turned the match in Gujarat’s favour. Rajasthan won the toss and elected to field first at the DR DY Patil Sports Academy. GT batted first to put up a total of 192. Hardik Pandya played a captain’s knock, smashing 87 off 52. He was ably assisted by Abhinav Manohar, who scored 43 off 28. David Miller also remained not out after 31 off 14. When it was time for Gujarat Titans to bowl, they scalped the wickets of Devidutt Paddikal and Ravichandran Ashwin early on. However, Jos Buttler continued to be a thorn for GT and reached his half-century in just 23 balls. Buttler smacked Lockie Ferguson for a six on the penultimate ball of the sixth over. Ferguson did not the maximum slide. On the last ball of the over, he bowled a wristy slower one. His yorker escaped Buttler’s bat to hit the base of the stumps. Watch the clip here:
