Jos Buttler‘s stunning century in his 100th IPL match for Rajasthan Royals (RR) against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has garnered significant attention. Buttler’s century, coming off just 58 balls, played a pivotal role in RR’s six-wicket victory, maintaining their unbeaten streak in IPL 2024.
Buttler’s innings was a mix of patience and aggression, as he navigated through the early overs before unleashing his attacking game, smashing nine fours and four sixes. His partnership of 148 runs with skipper Sanju Samson (69) was crucial in chasing down RCB’s total of 183.
“I had a little bit of luck, did not time it well, just got over the rope, delighted with the win,” said Buttler, reflecting on his winning hit over the deep mid-wicket fence. He also emphasized the mental challenges in cricket, stating, “However long you’ve played the game, you still have those anxieties and stresses.”
