In the 28th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, Rajasthan Royals (RR) thrashed Sunrisers Hyderabad (S🎃RH) at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Sunday.
RR opener Jos Buttler completely destroyed the SRH bowling attack and smashed his maiden century in IPL. He scored as many as 124 runs from jওust 64 deliveries with the help of 🐟11 fours and eight gigantic sixes.
Riding on Buttler’s exceptional knock, the Royals posted a massive total of 220/3 in their allotted 20 overs. Apart from the English batsman, RR skipper Sanju Samson made a valuable contribution with 48 runs ཧoff 33⭕ balls.
Rashid Khan was the least expen🌊sive bowler for the 2016 winners as he conceded only 24 runs in his quota of 4 overs with a wicket.
In reply, Sunrisers, led by a new captain Kane Williamson got off to a good start as Manish Pandey, and Jonny Bairstow added 57 runs for the opening wicket. Pacer Mustafizur Rahman broke the partnership by removing Pandey in the seventh overℱ.
The dismissal of Pandey opened flood gates as SRH never really got the momentum and failed to come back in the game. They kept on losing wickets at regular intervals. In the end, SRH could only manage to reach 165/8, losing the contest by 55 ru🎃ns. The victory helpe♐d the Royals to climb to the fifth spot in the points table.
Pandey and Bairstow, with 31 and 30 r🎃un🍌s, respectively, remained as the top-scorers for SRH.

Well if you have t💝aken a big decision to drop David Warner atleast make use of the other foreigner appropriately. Nabi coming in 🌠to bowl only at the 15th over did not make any sense to me.

Sheer carnage by Buttler against Sunrisers Hyderabad, one of his finest knock. Tཧhe way he destroyed the bowlers was remarkable, excellent innings from Jos.
