MUMBAI: England’s Jos Buttler continued his stunning form at the Indian Premier League with his second century of this year’s tournament for Rajasthan Royals.
Buttler, the 2022 IPL’s top run-scorer, hit 103 from 61 balls in a thrilling Royals’ win over Kolkata Knight Riders.
He became only the sixth player to score multiple hundreds in the same IPL season as his side posted 217-5.
KKR were well placed in pursuit but Yuzvendra Chahal’s hat-trick helped the Royals claim a seven-run win.
Buttler hit nine fours and five sixes before being caught at fine leg off Pat Cummins in the 17th over.
It is his third IPL ton and follows his knock of 100 against Mumbai Indians earlier in this year’s competition.
