Buttler came out to bat alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal after Punjab Kings posted 187 in the first innings. He was eager to get off the mark to avoid an embarassing third successive duck. The 32-year got the strike for the first time in the match in the second over. He faced Kagiso Rabada and wasn’t able to score off the first three deliveries.

Rabada then bowled a fuller length delivery that hit Buttler on the pads. Vociferous appeal soon followed and Buttler was given out LBW. The English batsman walked back in disappointment as his poor run of form continued.

Most Ducks in an IPL Season

  • 5 – Jos Buttler (2023)*
  • 4 – Herschelle Gibbs (2009)
  • 4 – Mithun Manhas (2011)
  • 4 – Manish Pandey (2012)
  • 4 – Shikhar Dhawan (2020)
  • 4 – Nicholas Pooran (2021)
  • 4 – Eoin Morgan (2021)

With the dismissal, Buttler, who won the orange cap in 2022 also registered another shameful record. He becomes the first batsman in the history of IPL to register five ducks in a season.

The opener finished at the highest-run scorer last season by scoring 863 runs that included four centuries. This year he has just managed to score 392 runs from 14 matches. He has a high score of 95 this year.

Before this season, Buttler had only a solitary duck in his IPL career out of 81 innings. In the 14 innings this season, he has been dismissed without scoring against the Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bangalore before today’s match.
