Mohammed Shami clean bowled Jos Buttler to put his team Gujarat Titans firmly on top in their ongoing game against Rajasthan Royals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The kind of form Jos Buttler is in at present, Gujarat Titans needed to dismiss him early while defending their total. One of the best T20 batsmen in the world, Jos Buttler has enjoyed a very prolific campaign in IPL so far. In the first 5 games, he scored three fifties.

Before playing against Gujarat Titans, he registered scores of 79 and 52 against Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings respectively. He, however, could not replicate his form against the reigning IPL champions because of Mohammed Shami.
Jos Buttler could not even open his account as Mohammed Shami sent him back for a 5-ball duck. After failing to get off the mark in the first 4 balls he faced, Jos Buttler decided to play the ramp shot only to regret it. On the 5th ball of the third over, he shuffled across to scoop the ball behind the stumps.

However, he could not make any contact with the ball as Mohammed Shami’s delivery swung in sharply before uprooting the off stump.
Here is a clip of the delivery:

Jos Buttler’s second duck in IPL
Jos Buttler registered just his second duck in 86 IPL innings after being dismissed by Mohammed Shami. His first duck had come in his very first IPL match, back in 2016 against Rising Pune Supergiant.
Earlier this season, Buttler also became the third fastest to 3000 IPL runs. He achieved the feat during the game against Chennai Super Kings. He became the third-fastest to reach 3000 runs in IPL, in terms of innings, and is the 21st batter to reach the landmark. He also became the first player from England to achieve the feat.
