England’s hard hitting batter Jos Buttler showed no mercy to the Bhuvneshwar Kumar-led bowling attack as he registered quick-fire fifty. Buttler played 54 runs knock off 22 bowls, he dealt only in sixes and fours. The 32-year-old batter reached his half-century at the strike rate of 245.45.
Farooqi gives SRH breakthrough
But game turned toward SRH as Fazalhaq Farooqi, left-arm fast medium, delivered the pitched off delivery and removed Buttler.
Currently, Yashasvi Jaiswal (41 off 23) and skipper Sanju Samson (14 off 9) are batting and sailing the RR cruise at the Hyderabad.
