New Delhi: The 52nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 is being played between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Rajasthan's star player Jos Buttler has managed to grab the limelight this season with his prolific batting skills, but this time he has made headlines by showing his 'superhuman reflexes'. The video of Buttler's excellent fielding effort against Punjab Kings set the internet abuzz.

Punjab Kings won the toss and opted to bat first after winning the toss. The team was off to a good start as openers Shikhar Dhawan and Jhonny Bairstow powered their team's total to 46 runs in 5 overs. Dhawan finds it tough to bat against Ashwin and hence RR skipper Sanju Samson gave the last over of the powerplay to the senior spinner.
On the very first ball of Ashwin's over, Dhawan went for a big shot over mid-on, but Jos Butler, fielding at that position, jumped high to bag an absolutely stunning one-handed to send the opener back to the pavilion for a personal score of 12.
In this match, Punjab Kings are playing without any changes in their playing XI from last match, while RR skipper Sanju Samson has brought Yashasvi Jaiswal back in the playing XI in place of Karun Nair.
Rajasthan Royals (Playing XI): Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (wk/c), Devdutt Padikkal, Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Prashant Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Sen
Punjab Kings (Playing XI): Jonny Bairstow, Shikhar Dhawan, Mayank Agarwal (c), Bhanuka Rajapakse, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Rishi Dhawan, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh, Sandeep Sharma
