NEW DELHI
\nEngland\u2019s top batter Jos Buttler, who plays for Rajhistan Royals (RR) in this season of Indian Premier League (IPL), is thundering like a storm.
\nButtler produced another masterclass with a bat to guide Rajasthan Royals to a 15-run win over Delhi Capitals at Wankhede Stadium on Friday.
\nRR\u2019s Buttler, who opens the innings right at top, is the leading run scorer in this IPL season so far. Buttler has scored 491 runs with a mind-blowing average of 81.83. The arguably one of the most talented and clean hitters of cricket ball in world has scored three centuries so far in this year\u2019s IPL.
\nOn Friday, Buttler slammed his third century of the season as Delhi Capitals bowlers looked clueless to get the better of him until the penultimate over where Mustafizur Rahman dismissed him on 116. The magnificent ton helped Rajasthan post the highest score of the season 222\/2.
\nEnjoying the form of his life, Buttler smashed 116 off 65 balls with the help of nine boundaries and as many hits over the fence to lay the foundation of the imposing total in the company of Padikkal, who hit 54 off 35 balls with seven fours and two sixes.
\nIndia\u2019s great Sachin Tendulkar could not stop himself from showering praise at the scintillating effort of Jos Buttler. \u201cJos Buttler ka naam Josh Buttler hona chahye. (Jos Buttler must be named as \u2018Josh Buttler\u2019). Incredible hitting by him and Rajhastan Royals. This is a belter of a wicket and I have a feeling that the match is wide open,\u201d the little master had written in his tweet during the match.
\nIndian cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle while reacting to Buttler\u2019s masterclass wrote, \u201cButtler 2022. Might even get close to Kohli 2016 at this rate. Almost halfway there.\u201d
\nFormer India bowler Irfan Pathan also took it to twitter to hail the English batter. \u201cJos Buttler is after Virat Kohli\u2019s record of highest runs in one season. Flawless batting,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
