This game between Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings was a great instance of fielding by Jos Buttler. This is because, Buttler ensured that he would not repeat the mistake he had made before during this match in missing a tough catch.

Jason Holder bowled a back-of-length delivery outside off stump in the seventh over. Nehal Wadhera seemed unsure of what his next move as batsman would be and extended his bat only enough to touch the ball. The ball deflected off the bat and headed in the direction of the wicketkeeper very quickly.
