Jos Buttler pulls off an unreal feat to enter the Guinness World Records
After donning the England cap in the game of cricket, Jos Buttler turned heads with his outstanding display. Apart from his mind-blowing batting masterclass, his jaw-dropping reflex behind the stumps is an added advantage for the side. True greatness knows no bounds, and the English star has now achieved a feat that few could have even imagined.
Unreal catches are a part of the moment, and fans love some unreal catches during a tense encounter. But has anyone given a though how it feels like to take a 122 meter long catch? Now, Jos Buttler knows the answer. As he took the world’s highest catch of 122 meters, he entered the Guinness World Records.
Recently, an event took place in Cape Town where a drone dropped a ball from a height of 122 meters. Only a few could attempt the catch, but Buttler grabbed it with his safe hands. A viral video captured the moment, showing Buttler taking the surreal catch with incredible reflexes and top-notch athleticism.
With that feat, he dethroned Australian wicketkeeper-batter Thimothy Shanon Jebseelan. The Aussie stars took a record catch of 119.86 meters in 2021, and before Buttler’s brilliance, that used to be the highest cricket ball catch. But Buttler’s brilliance changed all that, rewriting the record books with a phenomenal milestone.
Buttler’s form hits a rough patch in the ongoing T20 World Cup
Ending a two-year-long wait, the T20 World Cup is back as fans are enjoying another thrilling edition of the tournament. As England started their campaign with the match against Nepal, they registered a bone-chilling victory. Amidst the thrilling win, Jos Buttler’s dip in form grabbed the attention.
While opening the innings, when Salt returned early, England needed Buttler to stand tall, but the English wicketkeeper-batter failed on the big stage. Playing a 26-run knock in 17 balls, he failed to turn the promising start into an impactful knock.
In the last clash against the West Indies, his struggles continued. Chasing down a big total of 197 runs, he gave a fiery start but faltered again. Scoring just 21 runs in 14 balls, he departed, leaving England struggling. His ongoing poor form in the tournament is now drawing plenty of concern.
Recent loss pushes England down to number three
After a thrilling victory against Nepal, England faced a devastating defeat in their last clash against the West Indies. Winning the toss, England opted to bowl first, and the decision backfired on them. The English bowlers struggled throughout the innings as the Caribbean batters piled up an imposing total of 196 runs.
The woes deepened in the second innings as the English batters struggled against the lethal bowling attack. Sam Curran’s unbeaten 43 sparked hope but faded away as no other batter stepped up to support him. With the win, West Indies notched their second consecutive victory, while England slipped down to the number three spot.
