Buttler Shines as Rajasthan Royals Defeat Royal Challengers Bengaluru

In a thrilling encounter at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, Jos Buttler‘s sensational century propelled the Rajasthan Royals to a magnificent victory over the struggling Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL 2024.

Virat Kohli, displaying his class, scored a brilliant 113, but it was Buttler who stole the show with his 58-ball century, supported by Faf du Plessis‘ solid performance. The duo’s partnership of 148 runs set a new record for the season, overshadowing Kohli’s earlier impressive partnership with du Plessis.

Despite Kohli’s heroics, Royal Challengers Bengaluru found themselves struggling against the spin duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and R Ashwin. Kohli’s outstanding innings could not secure a win for RCB, who now have only one victory in five games, while Rajasthan Royals continue their winning streak in IPL 2024.

Buttler, with his exceptional innings, was named the Player of the Match, outshining all other players on the field. His performance, along with strong support from Samson, led the Royals to a six-wicket victory with just five balls to spare.
