“After Virat Kohli’s Record”: Twitter Hails Jos Buttler For 4th IPL Century

Jos Buttler once again entertained fans on Friday as he smashed his third century of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season as Rajasthan Royals (RR) posted 222 for two in 20 overs against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

The Englishman hammered 116 runs off 65 balls, including nine fours and nine sixes and finally lost his wicket in the 19th over to Mustafizur Rahman. This was also Butter’s fourth IPL ton and the wicketkeeper-batter received plenty of praise on Twitter as legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar led the reactions.

The 2011 World Cup-winner praised his power-hitting during RR’s innings. Meanwhile, the likes of Irfan Pathan stated that Buttler is “after Virat Kohli’s record” of highest runs in a IPL season.

“Jos Buttler ka naam Josh Buttler hona chahiye! Incredible hitting by him and @rajasthanroyals This is a belter of a wicket and I have a feeling that the match is wide open. #DCvRR”, wrote Sachin.

Devdutt Padikkal also registered a half-century for RR, smacking 54 runs off 35 balls and captain Sanju Samson played an unbeaten knock of 46 runs off 19 deliveries.
