IPL 2022: Siraj missed a trick by not bowling an outswinger against Buttler, says Tendulkar
"Yashasvi's explosive start gave Buttler some breathing space. Buttler was batting on 6 after 7 balls. After that, he targeted Siraj as he knew the bowler was leaking runs. I think Siraj missed a trick against Buttler. He did not bowl a proper outswinger. He was bowling in-cutters with an angled seam and cross-seamed deliveries. He could have tried a regulation outswinger," said Tendulkar in a video on his Youtube channel on Saturday.
