Jos Buttler scored 106 not out in Rajasthan Royals' seven-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in Qualifier 2 match of IPL 2022 on Friday.

Neither pace nor spin is a problem for him, but what may stop Buttler from registering another hundred is the fact that he is a team player, who never shies away from playing risky shots to provide quick starts to his side. In overall, he has scored 149 runs against the team at an average of 71.5. Meanwhile, his strike rate against them is 186.25. The stats clearly reflect that Jos Buttler has a liking for the Hardik Pandya-led side. Kohli had scored four centuries in the 2016 edition of IPL in which he amassed a record 973 runs. His dominating knock was laced with 10 fours and 6 sixes as RR reached home with 11 balls to spare. When Rajasthan Royals will be facing Gujarat Tians in the final of IPL 2022 on Sunday night, Jos Buttler will be having a great opportunity to surpass Virat Kohli and get his name etched in the history books by becoming the first player to hit five centuries in a single edition of IPL. What Buttler needs is to score another ton in the night of the final.

There is a soulfulness here, and a sense of something speaking to the culture around it. But look away from the money and the point about the IPL is that it is authentic. And yes, the IPL is expected to rake in £1.5bn this year, or three times the ECB’s entire annual turnover. Watching say, Sanju Sanson drive the ball over cover, elbow balletically cocked, bat-face gleaming, hands whipped through with a thrillingly modern flourish, there is sense of this thing being elevated to other levels, other gears, an entity with its own life. Just watch the batting for a bit, that beautiful sense of hard-honed orthodoxy behind the power game of this generation of players. There is one game to be played, Sunday’s final between Buttler’s side and Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad in front of a rumoured 100,000 people.

Think about this hypothetically. There is a job you dearly want and you have done everything in your power to ensure it materializes the way you want it to.

And of course, a story that keeps finding ways to repeat itself, irrespective of the circumstances, and irrespective of whether you are battling for supremacy on a cricket field or bracing yourself for a tough job interview. The debate around whether he is the best T20 batter on the planet is not even a debate anymore. But on another instance, he was in his element – carving, creaming, caressing, crunching and clobbering the ball to all parts. It also, at the cost of sounding clichéd, provides people with clarity on how similar sport is to life. For much of that duration, it felt like Buttler was anything but a top-level opener. He ended up with a healthy strike-rate but the sticky phase in the middle overs meant that he couldn’t maximise his potential. With the Englishman, though, most of that scepticism usually counts for nothing. Just a few days ago, the stage was set. That alone tells you a lot about Buttler. He could have retreated into his shell. This might seem like a bit of a deviation from what we are about to engage ourselves in. You seem to know the answer to every question posed. The room, which felt like it would eat you alive, feels a little more comfortable.

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], May 28 (ANI): Rajasthan Royals opening batter Jos Buttler on Friday scored the joint-second most centuries in the history of the Indian Premier League.

IPL 2022 Qualifier 2, RR vs RCB: Jos Buttler was batting on 66 when Dinesh Karthik dropped the simple catch.

The Englishman scored his fourth century in IPL 2022 to help RR chase down the target with seven wickets in hand and 11 balls to spare. RR made mince meat of the target in front of them. And that could have the case when a high-flying Jos Buttler edged a Harshal Patel delivery in the 11th over of Rajasthan Royals' chase, offering a simple catch to Royal Challengers Bangalore wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik. Inexplicably, though, Karthik failed to take the regulation catch with Buttler batting on 66 at the time.

Buttler says he was "distracted" and "feeling the pressure" after dip in form mid-way through IPL 2022, but "honest conversations" shook him from his funk.

"There's great excitement to be able to have the opportunity to be in the final in the biggest T20 tournament in the world," he said. I think he started off so well, had a little bit of a flutter at one point in the tournament, but he calmed himself down, had good conversations rather than just training. "I think some days I was a bit slow to start with. "I'm always trying to play (according to) the game. What is the game asking me to do at any particular time and then what skillset do I have to try and use on that particular day," he said. "He's great against spin, he has got all the shots, and he chooses on certain days which shots to play and which shots to put away for a while. I wish you can play fast all the time, but certain times I've had it tough and maybe a younger version of myself would've just gone for a big shot and got out." Some days you have to fight and look ugly, other days your rhythm is there. The good thing about Jos Buttler is that he can accelerate at any time. Sangakkara, who has had a prime view of Buttler the T20 cricketer over the past three seasons, was effusive in his praise. "I think it's just his overall game," Sangakkara said, when asked about Buttler's strengths. I was getting distracted, and I tried to suppress it, but it wasn't until a week or so when I actually opened up and started talking about that and it made me feel a lot better.

He’s really trusted by his team, the team really looks up to him as a leader, he’s inspired them off the field and on it. “"He’s become more and more aware of what his role is – that he’s really only captaining when he’s fielding and when he’s batting, he’s just Sanju Samson the batter who needs to bat with freedom and enjoyment. But he’s shown a lot of passion and hunger to play for this franchise, to take on this testing role of captaincy. But then he just calmed himself down, had a lot of good conversations rather than just training, accepted that he’s mortal and human and he can’t be at that high level of excellence every single day,” Sangakkara said a while after Royals defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by seven wickets to storm into the final.

So far, he has amassed 824 runs at a strike rate of 151, and dons the Orange Cup with elan.
