In one of the most unique scenarios seen in IPL history, Rajasthan Royals’ Jos Buttler and his opening partner Devdutt Padikkal completed four runs by running between the wickets, without the assist of an overthrow.

In the last ball of the 3rd over, Umesh Yadav’s delivery was squeezed wide of backward point. Venkatesh Iyer gave a chase and saved a boundary but the batters in the crease had already completed four runs by running, with the 4th one being a tight affair.

Ultimately a weak throw ensured that Jos Buttler got in with a full-length dive beating the breaking of the stumps.
