Jos Buttler has suddenly become the most dangerous batter in the Indian Premier League 2024. He is winning matches for Rajasthan Royals in some style. The veteran, who missed the game against Punjab Kings, returned to the side for the contest with KKR. However, he was used as an impact player and had the most crucial impact on the outcome.
His second hundred of the 17th season stunned the Shreyas Iyer-led team and took the visitors home with two wickets in hand. The game looked all over for the Royals, with regular wickets falling after Riyan Parag’s dismissal. But Rovman Powell and Buttler added 50-plus runs in no time, and the latter turned the heat on rivals to close the game in his franchise’s favor on the last ball of the match.
He gave a three-world reaction to his stunning batting display. “Drew to Dream,” he wrote on X.
He was unbeaten on 107 runs off 60 balls, with nine fours and six sixes, while chasing 224.
Buttler said one must keep believing in oneself to get results. “You have to believe in yourself to get the results. If you have that mentality, winning a contest becomes a bit easier. I am pleased to contribute to the team’s win. I have learned a lot from Kumar Sangakkara on how to bat in different situations,” Jos Buttler said.
Rajasthan have 12 points from seven games and are comfortably placed at the top of the points table.
