In the ongoing India vs. England match at Lucknow, Kuldeep Yadav’s stunning delivery bowled Jos Buttler as it gripped the pitch and turned significantly, leaving England at 52/5 and Buttler in disbelief.
England chose to field after winning the toss, restricting India to 229/9 in their 50 overs in the ongoing match at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium. In a breathtaking delivery, Kuldeep Yadav dismantled Jos Buttler’s stumps in the very first ball of the 16th over.
Yadav sent down a slightly quicker and shorter delivery, well outside off, which gripped the pitch and turned significantly. Buttler, stuck in his crease, attempted a square punch on the off-side but failed to connect. The ball found the massive gap between his bat and pad, crashing into the stumps. A stunned Buttler had to depart for just 10 runs, and England found themselves in dire straits at 52/5, losing half their side.
Frame kro lo…

Earlier, Rohit Sharma provided a flying start, but wickets tumbled at regular intervals, including the unexpected duck of Virat Kohli. KL Rahul partnered with Rohit to stabilize the innings, with Rohit shouldering most of the scoring. The 91-run stand ended when Willey dismissed Rahul in the 31st over.
Suryakumar Yadav then joined Rohit, contributing 33 runs for the fifth wicket, but Rohit fell just 13 runs short of a century. India’s lower order, led by Ravindra Jadeja and SKY, contributed valuable runs, bringing the total to 230 with the help of Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav in the final overs.
