Jos Buttler turned into Superman to take a flying catch during Rajasthan Royals' IPL 2020 clash against Chennai Super Kings in Abu Dhabi on Monday (October 19). Buttler's magnificent fielding effort helped his side get rid of CSK's Faf du Plessis early on in the innings.
Earlier in the day, CSK skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat first at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
However, things did not start the way that he would have wanted to as CSK lost one of their key players in Du Plessis inside the powerplay.
Archer started the match with a feisty first over and allowed just two runs off it. Skipper Steven Smith, in search of an early breakthrough, brought Archer into bowling the third over of the match and he did not disappoint.
Off the very last delivery of Jofra's final over, a frustrated du Plessis decided to play the hook shot after the pacer bowled a slower bouncer.
However, Faf's poorly timed shoot was spectacularly caught on the offside by Buttler who leaped high and held on to a stunner.
HERE IS THE VIDEO:
As a result of this, Du Plessis had to take the long walk back after scoring just 10 runs off 9 balls, reducing CSK to 13/1.
Shane Watson walked in next and joined Sam Curran in the middle but the veteran Australian also failed to deliver and was sent back to the dressing room by Kartik Tyagi for 8.
