Skipper R Ashwin is in the eye of a storm after 'Mankading' a rival player but a winning start will keep Team Punjab upbeat when they face home favourites Kolkata in an IPL fixture on Wednesday.
Buttler was looking in imperious touch with 69 runs from 43 balls and Rajasthan well on course to overhaul the target of 185, but following the dismissal, they went on to lose eight wickets for 62 runs to hand Punjab their maiden win in Jaipur.
Team Punjab's biggest star Chris Gayle scored a 47-ball 79 and his Jamaican rivalry with fellow mate Andre Russell, who also looked in blistering touch for Team Kolkata, will be one of the subplots of the clash.
The win saw their star spinner and explosive opener, Sunil Narine, hurt his finger and Kolkata would hope he is fit in time.
Squads:
Team Kolkata: Dinesh Karthik (c), Robin Uthappa, Chris Lynn, Shubman Gill, Andre Russell, Carlos Brathwaite, Sunil Narine, Piyush Chawla, Kuldeep Yadav, Nikhil Naik, Joe Denly, Shrikant Mundhe, Nitish Rana, Sandeep Warrier, Prasidh Krishna, Lockie Ferguson, Harry Gurney, KC Cariappa and Yarra Prithviraj.
