Alzarri Joseph had a dream IPL debut the other day against Sunrisers Hyderabad, where he finished with figures of 6 for 12 in 3.4 overs. But Buttler was in no mood to care about reputation as he took the West Indian to the cleaners and hammered him for 28 runs in one over, which included two sixes and four boundaries.
He had figures of 0 for 53 from three overs at the end of the match, which Rajasthan won by four wickets with three balls to spare. Moreover, this was also the fourth-most expensive over (28 runs) conceded by any bowler in this edition. Dwayne Bravo (CSK) and Tim Southee (RCB) are the other two bowlers who have given away 29 runs in one over.
Buttler has been in blazing form this season, having scored three fifties in chases and so far amassed 288 runs off seven matches at a strike-rate of 153.19.
