In the 8th match of IPL 2023, Punjab Kings defeated Rajasthan Royals by 5 runs. This was the first loss for RR, but now they could face an even bigger setback. In fact, according to media reports, it is believed that Jos Buttler got injured during the PBKS vs RR match.
He had an injury on his little finger while fielding, which could cause him to miss Rajasthan Royals’ upcoming match. During the match played between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals, Buttler got injured while taking a catch of the opposition player Shahrukh Khan during the PBKS batting.
He suffered an injury to his left hand’s little finger. The injury was so severe that several stitches were also put on Butler’s finger. This is the reason why this star player may only be seen sitting on the bench in the upcoming match against Delhi Capitals.
It is worth noting that even Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson had given an update on Jos Buttler’s injury. He had said, “Jos is not fit. He has several stitches on his finger after taking the catch.” It should be noted that Jos did not come for opening batting during Rajasthan Royals’ innings in this match, although he came on the field after the first wicket fell and scored 19 runs off 11 balls.
Due to injuries, many players had to leave the IPL this year. Prasidh Krishna bowler of RR, is also one of those players. In such a situation, the Rajasthan Royals team will want Jos Buttler’s injury not to be too serious and for him to be available for selection soon. Jos Buttler has scored a total of 73 runs in two matches so far this season.
