What happened with Mr. 360 in 1 year... Butler's name was in the limelight in the last IPL. He had scored 863 runs. Not one or two, he had scored 4 centuries and the Orange Cap was adorned on his head. But, Jos Buttler is in a bad condition in IPL 2023. He was also dismissed for zero in the match against Punjab Kings and an unwanted hat-trick was registered in his name. He returned to the pavilion in the third consecutive match without opening an account. He was dismissed LBW by Kagiso Rabada. Butler played 4 balls. But, could not open the account.
Jos Buttler was also dismissed for zero in the last match against Royal Challengers Bangalore and before that against Kolkata Knight Riders. It is not that his name has just a hat-trick of ducks registered. Butler has been out on zero for the entire 5 times this season. In this way, an unwanted record was named after him. He has become the batsman who has been dismissed for zero most times in an IPL season. Before him, Herschelle Gibbs, Mithun Manhas, Manish Pandey, and Shikhar Dhawan have been dismissed for ducks 4-4 times.
Butler's poor performance this season can be gauged from the fact that from his debut in 2016 till 2022, he was dismissed for zero only once. During this, he played 85 innings. At the same time, Butler has not been able to open the account 5 times in the last 10 innings of the IPL. Butler, who played a key role in helping Rajasthan Royals reach the final last season, scored 392 runs in 14 innings in the 16th season of IPL. This includes 4 fifties.
