Whenever Buttler serves it up, it is a Royal feast for Rajasthan
Jos Buttler’s seven centuries in the IPL have all ended in victories for Rajasthan Royals, the latest coming against Kolkata Knight Riders in Kolkata on Tuesday. A look at the Englishman’s hundreds: 2021: 124 vs SRH, New Delhi: His knock came o 64 deliveries (11x4, 8x6) and powered Royals to 220 for three, a total that proved beyond Sunrisers’ reach.
