Buttler’s flawless 107 off 60 balls served as the cornerstone of RR’s victorious chase, culminating in a thrilling two-wicket victory for his team on the last ball.
On Tuesday, the Rajasthan Royals defeated the Kolkata Knight Riders after winning the toss and opting to field first. Despite Phil Salt’s early drop catch for zero, Avesh Khan’s outstanding return catch immediately removed him, thus the Kolkata Knight Riders were not greatly hampered. However, Sunil Narine, who gained confidence with his wide strokes, supported Angkrish Raghuvanshi’s smooth batting from the off.
Raghuvanshi’s lighthearted appearance had a significant effect, although Shreyas Iyer left the game abruptly after him. Still, only Avesh and Boult were able to contain the runs as Narine’s relentless assault destroyed the RR bowling attack. With a rapid contribution, Rinku Singh helped KKR to a commanding 223.
Rajasthan responded forcefully at first, with Yashasvi Jaiswal trying to take boundaries wherever possible until losing to Vaibhav Arora. Sanju Samson made a quick comeback, but Harshit Rana’s throw made the RR skipper make a mistake. After Riyan Parag countered the KKR bowlers, the visitors’ fortunes took a turn for the worst when he was removed by a misleading ball from Harshith Rana.

The strategic choice to send Ravichandran Ashwin at six and Dhruv Jurel’s decision to remove Narine didn’t pay off as the scoring rate dropped. RR’s problems were made worse by Varun Chakaravarthy’s successive wickets of Shimron Hetmyer and Ashwin. Due to his aggressive performance against Narine, Rovman Powell was dismissed, leaving RR needing a daunting 46 runs from the final three overs.
Jos Buttler, who had earlier scored 42 off 33 balls, responded to the challenge and helped his side win by scoring 42 off the final 46 runs. Buttler’s flawless 107 off 60 balls served as the cornerstone of RR’s victorious chase, culminating in a dramatic two-wicket victory for his team on the match’s penultimate ball.
