Jos Buttler, once again, l𝓡ed from the front with a spectacular unbeaten 94 to give Rajasthan Royals (RR) a comfortable seven-wicket win over Mumbai Indianಌs (MI) on Sunday night.
It was also Rajasthan’s first win at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in five attempts since 2012. The win also meant that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) became the second team to qualify for the play-offs of this edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
After having restricted Mumbai to 168 in 20 overs, a 95-run stand between Buttler and Rahane put their side on course, but it was Buttler’s 53-ball knock that took them over the line in the end.
Here’s how the Twitter world reacted to Jos Butter’s match-winning knock:
