The ‘Rajasthan Royals’ captain and the key wicket for the English side, Jos Buttler, was highly eulogized by former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh for his incredible century, which was used to overcome the high-paced ‘Kolkata Knight Riders’ in the dying moments of the game. Since the game was played here, Kolkata’s historical Eden Gardens witnessed one of the nail-biting contests in this IPL season.
However, Buttler’s unbeaten knock demonstrated talent and calmness; at the beginning, he played these 30 runs with small adjustments to keep the required rate. Buttler, unfortunately, could not score big runs, as the fall of wickets saw the Royals in a very bad situation. Yet, the player decided to play some stunning shots, and that resulted in a complete comeback from Manchester.
Buttler who scored an unbeaten 107 runs average run-rate of 178.33 played a significant role in an unprecedented successful run chase for the joint-highest total in IPL history. The match was full of both swing in momentum and fan support, so a lot of emotions.
In addition to this, Harbhajan Singh, in his analysis, depicted Buttler`s versatility and endurance as being matchless and being remembered by cricket fans all over the world for good. Not only did Singh complain about the bowling skills of duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal from the team they were unable to confine the batting century of Sunil Narine for Knight Riders.
In short, Buttler’s power-packed performance and the battle of nerves till the final breath, Buttler’s power-packed performance, and the fight until the last gasp, will remain in our minds for a long time and thus the game will be remembered as one of the highlights of the ongoing IPL season.
