IPL 2018, RR vs CSK: Hits and Misses

#1 Hit: Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler was magnificent as he struck a 60-ball 95 to guide RR home.

Another game while opening the batting, another brilliant inning from Jos Buttler. The England wicket-keeper batsman has been terrific at the top of the order and has given RR an excellent start in every game he’s opened.

Chasing 177 on a slow pitch, Jos Buttler helped RR get off to a flying start. He started off by scoring 3 fours off David Willey on the first 3 balls of the innings. He then scored a couple of fours and a six in the next over as he raced off to 27 off 12 deliveries.

But RR lost a couple of quick wickets which meant he had to slow down and look to bat through the innings. The 27-year-old batsman got his fifty in 26 deliveries. But then with the pitch slowing down, he could only manage to score a little over run-a-ball.

However, he carried his bat and took RR home with a magnificent knock. He struck an unbeaten 95 (11 fours and 2 sixes) and hit 12 runs off the final over to help RR get their 5th win of the season.
