IPL
2022: Michael Vaughan had special praise for a certain Englishman, who recently
smacked a ton in the ongoing Indian Premier League season.
Jos Buttler was in
amazing form as he smashed a ton to help Rajasthan Royals (RR) defeat Kolkata
Knight Riders (KKR) by seven runs in Match 30 of the ongoing Indian Premier
League (IPL) 2022 season, at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. The
wicketkeeper-batter hammered 103 runs off 61 balls, including nine fours and
five sixes, to dominate opposition bowlers. The Englishman received plenty of
rave reviews from fans and experts on social media for his performance and was
also on the receiving end of special praise from Michael Vaughan,
who called him the "Best T20 player in the world".
Buttler's
knock helped RR post 217 for five in 20 overs, setting a target of 218 runs.
Chasing a target of 218
runs, KKR were bowled out for 210 in 19.4 overs with Yuzvendra
Chahal registering a five-wicket haul, including a hat-trick.
After the win, RR are now
second in the table with eight points (four wins and two defeats) and Buttler
is leading in the Orange Cap race with 375 runs from six games. He has smacked
two centuries and two half-centuries in the ongoing IPL 2022 season and will be
hoping to keep up his momentum.
