Jos Buttler if he mouths this famous dialogue of Jim Carrey from the Hollywood blockbuster 'Mask' which came back in 1994. On Friday night at the colosseum called the Narendra Modi Stadium, with close to 1,00,000 spectators relishing every bit of ultra-entertaining batting, Buttler slayed the Royal Challengers Bangalore bowlers in the second qualifier at will in a pulverising 60-ball 106, which took the Rajasthan Royals into their first IPL final since the inaugural season in 2008. While the Englishman waltzed to his fifth hundred in the IPL overall, the next highest score after his was Sanju Samson's 23. Buttler has now scored 824 runs at an average of 58.85 with a strike rate of 151.47 in a tally which includes four hundreds and four fifties.
IPL 2022: Virender Sehwag Says Virat Kohli Has Made More Mistakes This Season Than Probably In His Entire Career
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batter Virat Kohli had high hopes riding on him when he walked out to open the batting alongside skipper Faf du Plessis in Qualifier 2 against Rajasthan Royals of ongoing IPL 2022 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. In the opening over bowled by Trent Boult, Kohli whipped the ball off his pads for a six over deep-square leg and it looked like the batter was in the zone. However, in the very next over, the 33-year-old was dismissed by Prasidh Krishna after scoring just 7 runs. The dismissal was a worrying sign as it saw the RCB batter chasing a short and wide delivery, to hand a simple catch to wicketkeeper Sanju Samson.
