Jos Buttler etched his name into IPL 2024 history with a stunning century, propelling the Rajasthan Royals to a heart-stopping, two-wicket victory over the Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday. Buttler’s unbeaten 107 off 60 balls, laced with nine fours and six sixes, guided Rajasthan to a seemingly impossible target of 224 in the final ball of the match.
The Royals’ chase looked in tatters at 121-6 after 13 overs, but Buttler launched a breathtaking counterattack. His sensational innings earned him the well-deserved ‘Player of the Match’ title. The victory keeps Rajasthan Royals atop the league table with 12 points from seven games, while Kolkata remains in second with eight points.
Earlier, a fiery 109 off just 56 deliveries by Sunil Narine, including 13 fours and six sixes, powered Kolkata to a formidable 223-6. However, Buttler’s heroics ultimately stole the show, delivering one of the most memorable IPL finishes in recent memory.
