Either Rajasthan or Hyderabad are set to get their first win of the Indian T20 League 2022 on Tuesday. The two teams are currently battling it out in Pune. It was Hyderabad who won the toss and elected to bowl first.
For the 2008-champions, Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal walked in to open the innings. As both of them are very aggressive, it was important for Hyderabad's bowlers to pick early wickets. It was Bhuvneshwar Kumar who started things for the orange army. He even managed to dismiss the Englishmen.
However, he overstepped and gave Buttler a reprieve. The keeper-batter edged one to the slips and just when the Kane Williamson-led side started to celebrate, the umpires asked the batter to wait. The replays showed that it was a no ball. This wasn't it as there was another no ball bowled by Kumar in the third over.
After which, Umran Malik followed the senior pacer's footsteps as he too overstepped in his first over. Ironically, the batter was Buttler, who edged it to the slips once again. The only thing that was different in this instance was that the ball went through the hands of the fielder this time around.
It was Abdul Samad who failed to catch the ball. Thus, several fans on Twitter spoke about how lucky Buttler was. They went on to ridicule Hyderabad's bowlers for constantly bowling no balls. The fact that they gave a life to someone as good as Buttler was pointed out as well.
Nevertheless, the English batter was dismissed for 35 in the eighth over. It was Malik who brought an end to Hyderabad's miseries. However, Sanju Samson still took the aggressive route as he continued to play the big shots. After 10 overs, Rajasthan were 87-2.
Here are some of the Tweets which spoke about Hyderabad's mistakes against Jos Buttler:

4th No Ball by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 4 overs, not a good start by their bowlers.
