The IPL stats and statistics of Jos Buttler vs MI.
Over the past five or six seasons, Jos Buttler has been among the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) most potent hitters. Since joining RR in 2018, the top batsman has established himself with his batting exploits. He earned the orange cap and scored 863 runs in the league’s 15th edition in 2022. The season’s MVP award went to the English hitter as well. Thus far, RR has had an amazing tournament. They defeated LSG by 20 runs in the season’s opening game.

The next game, RR defeated DC by a score of twelve runs. Since 2023, Buttler’s performance in the IPL has been lacking. RR had a good team on paper in 2023, but one of the key reasons they were unable to make the playoffs was because of this. RR would like to see him get back to his former self. You would think it would be the ideal method for him to get into grooves, given his record against MI. Even the type of pitch he bats on is probably going to be conducive to his batting.
The seasoned batter hasn’t used his bat to win a game for his team in a very long time. His terrible form in the ODI World Cup 2023 did not benefit England. In Mumbai, RR and MI will play on April 1, 2024. Since Buttler has a strong record against the majority of MI bowlers, he would be the main focus. The success of RR will mostly depend on the right-handed batter. It would be intriguing to watch how Buttler does against MI, who have some of the world’s top bowlers.

Outstanding displays against the Mumbai Indians
Buttler was the league’s best player in 2022. Despite getting off to a sluggish start in the innings, he hammered a stunning hundred in the match versus MI. Buttler had an excellent game and came through the storm early on on a track that offered some help to the bowlers. Once he was set, he unleashed his beast form and attacked the bowlers. The star batter scored his first century against MI during this process. He was untroubled by any bowler, other from Jasprit Bumrah.
MI had a top-tier team in the 2019 Indian Premier League. They achieved a first: they were the first team to ever win four IPL titles. They requested RR to pursue 188 in one of the season’s matches. It was a difficult game in the evening. But Jos pulled off a brilliant performance that gave RR the advantage. He scored 89(43), smashing eight fours and seven enormous sixes. Against the bowling attack of Jason Behrendorff, Jasprit Bumrah, Alzarri Joseph, Krunal Pandya, and Hardik Pandya, the knock came at a strike rate of 206.98.
Important matchups between Jos Buttler and the Mumbai Indians’ Jasprit Bumrah One of the fewest bowlers to have ever stopped Buttler in any way is the standout bowler from Michigan. Jos Buttler, who averages 28.0 and strikes out at 96.6 against Jasprit Bumrah, has not had much luck. Against the Mumbai spinner, the great batsman has amassed 56 runs in 58 deliveries. Even during Buttler’s finest batting season in 2022, Bumrah defeated him, dismissing the top batsman with an incredible yorker.
Piyush Chawla: Considering how Buttler has bowled the past two seasons, the seasoned spinner poses a threat. Chawla has grown considerably over the past season and is a great age. In the middle overs of the MI IPL 2024, the leg-spinner was MI’s main wicket-taker. The Rajasthan opener, who has been dismissed once by Chawla, strikes at 133.3 and averages 32.00. Buttler needs to bat well against Chawla if he manages to survive the powerplay.
