Jos Buttler played one of the greatest IPL knocks on Tuesday night. His sensational 107 not out (60 balls, 9×4, 6×6) gave Rajasthan Royals an unforgettable — and for much of the match — an unlikely last-ball win against Kolkata Knight Riders. The two-wicket victory has consolidated Royals’ position at the top of the table.
RR was set a daunting target of 224 by the host, thanks largely to Sunil Narine’s maiden career century (109, 56 balls, 13×4, 6×6). If RR was to win, it had to equal its own record of the biggest successful chase in IPL history.
