Jos Buttler came agonisingly close to notching his first century in IPL 2023 season but the Rajasthan Royals opener was dismissed in the nervous nineties. Buttler had equalled Virat Kohli’s record last season from 2016, for smashing the most (four) centuries in a single IPL campaign, the Englishman won the IPL 2022 Orange Cap but couldn’t help Rajasthan Royals win the tournament.
Fast forward to 2023, Buttler hasn’t been firing on all cylinders so far this campaign, however, the 32-year-old smashed a sensational 95-run knock in just 59 balls, missing a well-deserved century by just five runs.
Buttler failed to read the yorker from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and had to depart after smashing 10 boundaries and four sixes.
