Jos Buttler vs Shardul Thakur IPL record

The best way for Delhi to gain an advantage in this match would be to dismiss Buttler in the powerplay itself. Hence, one out of Shardul Thakur or Khaleel Ahmed will have to do the needful to prevent Buttler from generating any sort of impact.

Readers must note that Buttler and Thakur have faced each other on seven IPL occasions in the past. Buttler, who has scored 68 (48) with the help of eight fours and two sixes against Thakur, has been dismissed by him twice in the IPL.

Ahmed, on the other hand, has dismissed Buttler just once in three innings but after conceding 45 (29) including four fours and three sixes.
