Wicketkeepers always play a crucial role for a team and they always had the ability to turn the game on its head with their glovework or fielding skills. England’s white-ball skipper, Jos Buttler produced one of the most brilliant run-outs with his spectacular agility to help his team to get an important breakthrough of Aiden Markram in the second ODI against South Africa.
England is up against South Africa in an ODI series currently and the scoreline reads 1-1 so far. England won the second rain-affected ODI by a huge margin of 118 runs. The match was reduced to 29 overs and South Africa opted to bowl first after winning the toss. England managed to amass 201 runs in 28.1 overs courtesy of the flamboyant knocks from Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran.

Chasing the target, South Africa lost wickets at regular intervals. They were reeling at 6/3 but a brilliant piece of fielding from Jos Buttler completely shattered their hopes of completing the chase. David Willey was bowling the fourth over of the innings and Heinrich Klaasen was on strike.
Klaasen nudged the fifth ball on the leg-side and both batters ran for a single. Aiden Markram would have reached the batter’s end in time but the incredible effort from Jos Buttler found Marak short of the crease.
