The Best Five Knocks by Jos Buttler in the IPL
Buttler came into the limelight thanks to the complete restructuring that was taking place at England Cricket in the aftermath of the 2015 ODI World Cup, where the team failed to make it to the second round. Mumbai Indians scouts took a good look at him, as he was making an impact with his national team. But his best years came at the Rajasthan Royals(RR), where he moved in 2018 and scored five centuries. Those five centuries also helped many cricket enthusiasts and bettors win big rewards on online cricket betting sites.
124 off 64 balls vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (IPL 2021):
His maiden IPL century came in the 2021 season, and that too in 56 balls at the Feroz Shah Kotla. Hyderabad had won the toss and opted to field, and the decision backfired. Rashid Khan removed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal early, but the Royals dominated once Sanju Samson walked in. Both Englishman and the Rajasthan Royals skipper shared a match-winning stand, helping the team to a massive 220 runs on the board. The Englishman scored 124, which included 11 fours and eight sixes.
100 off 68 balls vs. Mumbai Indians (IPL 2022):
The 2022 edition was a dream season for Buttler, smashing four centuries in that season. Rajasthan Royals had batted first and had lost the wicket of Jaiswal early. Then Devdutt Padikkal also departed in quick fashion. However, Buttler again got assistance from skipper Samson as the duo forged a 50-plus stand. Wickets kept tumbling, but Buttler completed his century in 66 balls just before his eventual departure. RR posted a big total of 193 and beat the Mumbai Indians by 23 runs to show a glimpse of what was to come.
103 off 61 balls vs Kolkata Knight Riders (IPL 2022)
Rajasthan Royals’ fixture against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2022 season saw Buttler’s century became the talking point in a match that saw a hat-trick from Yuzvendra Chahal. He went on a rampage, completing his century with six off 59 balls. RR ended up scoring 217/5, which was always difficult to chase. Nevertheless, KKR gave this one a good chase, but Buttler’s knock proved to be the ultimate difference, with RR winning the match by just seven runs.
116 off 65 balls vs Delhi Capitals (IPL 2022):
Buttler went berserk against Delhi Capitals as he slammed his fourth IPL ton. His scintillating century ensured RR won another match, coming out as the top contender to reach the playoffs. Buttler went on a leather hunt, slamming the pacers and spinners with great ferocity. He completed his century in 57 balls after a 15-run opening stand with Padikkal. Chasing 223, Delhi kept on losing timely wickets but rallied in the final over, losing the match by just 15 runs.
106* off 60 balls vs. RCB (IPL 2022):
Buttler equaled the record for most hundreds in an IPL season against RCB in the 2022 season. Earlier, Kohli had become the first player to score four IPL tons in a season. The occasion was the second qualifier, and RCB had batted first; however, on a slow wicket, they could only muster 157 runs. Nevertheless, chasing this total was difficult, but Buttler hung on. He was in no hurry and anchored the innings, completing his century in 59 balls. The England white-ball captain smashed a six to seal the deal, taking the Royals to the final and staying unbeaten at 106.
