The premier Indian fast bowler, Mohammed Shami has been making the most of his excellent form in recent times with another searing ball to send back English skipper, Jos Buttler by rattling his stumps in spectacular style. The pacer is proving crucial for India in a tightly contested ODI and his dismissal of the skipper has firmly swung things in India’s favor.
Mohammed Shami bowled a relentless spell near the stumps and it has worked wonders for India yet again, giving them the momentum to again establish a strong stance over England in the ongoing second ODI. The fast bowler came up trumps in his second spell when he got the important wicket of man-in-form Jos Buttler, completely doing over the opposition skipper with an impeccable fast bowler.

At one stage, England looked to be cruising along having found their lost batting rhythm from the past few matches. However, Hardik Pandya provided the much-needed breakthrough in his first over, breaking the opening partnership of 41 by having Jason Roy caught in the deep.
Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root were anchoring the innings well when Yuzvendra Chahal both of them in quick succession. Even though England were left reeling at 82/3, India could not sit back lightly given Buttler and Ben Stokes occupied the crease. Shami understood the need of the hour immediately, striking in the 19th over to take Buttler’s wicket after he had scored just four runs.

Jos Buttler attempted to flick the ball on the leg side, but a fiercely swinging delivery by Mohammed Shami had him looking back at the disturbed stumps. The ball started outside-off before nipping back sharply to castle the batsman. The delivery’s brilliance had the internet reacting to it in all sorts of ways.
Here is the video of the dismissal of Jos Buttler:
