The dramatic run-out came at a stage when Rajasthan were going strong and Buttler was the reason behind it.
Rajasthan opener Jos Buttler was mankaded by R Ashwin during the fourth game of the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The dramatic run-out came at a stage when Rajasthan were going strong and Buttler was the reason behind it.
Buttler smashed his first half-century of this year's IPL and lost his wicket for 69 runs which came in just 43 balls.
After Buttler was mankaded, there was a heated argument between him and Ashwin but the umpires intervened to stop the tussle. The decision went to the third umpire which eventually declared Buttler run-out.

@ashwinravi99 , what you did was disgraceful and very cheap. It was not in the spirit of the game. You cannot scoop down to any level to make your team win. This is still a gentleman's game. #RRvsKXIP #IPL19 #NoWarning #JosButtler
