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 playoffs hop🌼es alive.
Buttler showed over the course of his unbeaten 95 that what Chennai’s experienced batsmen could do, he could do better.
Chasin🍸g 175 on the dry, cracked surface of the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, he 𒁃was unmoved in the face of scoreboard pressure, decorating the ground with an array of shots to ensure Rajasthan were never behind the demanding asking rate.
After his 82 against Ki🍌ngs 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-handedly led the Royals to 177 for 6 in 19.5 overs.
