Jos Buttler destroyed Chennai Super Kings (CSK) with an assault that led Rajasthan Royals (RR)to a thrilling four-wicket win on Friday to keep their IPL 2018 play🎃offs hopes alive.
Buttler showed over the course of his unbeaten 95 that what Chennai’s experienced batsmen could do, he could do better.
Chasing 175 on the dry, cracked surface of the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, he was unmoved in the face of s♍coreboard pressure, decorating the ground with an array of shots to ensure Rajasthan were never ♏behind the demanding asking rate.
After his 82 against Kings XI Punjab in their last win, Buttler went one better during his 60-ball knock that was studded with 11 fours and two sixes, as he single-handedl﷽y led the Royals to 177 for 6 in 19.5 overs.
Here’s how cricket fraternity and fans reacted to Joss Buttler’s brilliance:
