Hardik Pandya was trying to take Jos Buttler's catch, however he slipped at the Eden Gardens, after which the Gujarat Titans skipper was seen smiling.
Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans have reached the IPL 2022 playoffs in their maiden season in the cash-rich league, where they are facing off against the inaugural season's champs Rajasthan Royals.
Jos Buttler was the man in form, who had the orange cap coming into the Qualifier 1, and he played another crucial knock for his side on Tuesday. The English batsman struck a sublime knock of 89-runs in 56 balls.
That didn't come before he was handed a couple of lifelines, one of which was the most hilarious incidents that took place on the field.
