IPL 2024: Buttler's Unbeaten 107 Tops Narine's Ton As Rajasthan Overcome Kolkata By Two Wickets
Kolkata Knight Riders: Back into the side as an Impact Substitute after an injury, Jos Buttler struck a sensational counter-attacking unbeaten century to help Rajasthan Royals mount the joint-highest successful chase in Indian Premier League (IPL) history against Kolkata Knight Riders in Match 31 at the Eden Gardens on Tuesday.
Buttler hammered an unbeaten 107 off 60 balls, blasting nine boundaries and six maximums as Rajasthan Royals race to 224/8 in 20 overs after Sunil Narine blazed to his maiden century, a 56-ball 108 that had helped KKR reach a massive 223/6.
Rajasthan Royals looked down and out at 121/6 in the 13th over, but Buttler found an ally in Rovman Powell, who blasted a 13-ball 26 triggering a counter-attack as they launched an audacious chase. Powell was out but Buttler continued with his brilliant batting despite looking drained of energy and limping and jogging for runs.
