[Watch] Jos Buttler given out in the first over of SRH vs RR clash, survives after third umpire signals no-ball
Sunrisers Hyderabad's (SRH) Bhuvneshwar Kumar kept troubling Jos Buttler with his away swingers in the first over of their IPL 2022 match against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Tuesday. He ultimately found the batter's outside edge on the fifth ball of the over with yet another outswinger.
Abdul Samad completed a fine catch at first slip and it appeared that SRH had got a big breakthrough in the first over itself. However, the no-ball siren went off at the stadium as Kumar had overstepped. Jos Buttler got a big reprieve courtesy of the front foot no-ball.

Buttler's wicket would have been a massive blow to the Rajasthan side, considering he is one of the most explosive batters in their line-up. It remains to be seen if the right-hander will be able to make the most of his second life in the contest.
