Buttler was batting 23 runs and on the last delivery of the fifth over, Afridi came up with a stunning yorker and it knocked the off stump out of the ground. The T20I skipper of England looked absolutely clueless and seeing that fans have shared their views on social media heap praises on the Pakistan pacer.
Here is the shared video:
