As mentioned above, Buttler played a knock of 79 runs in just 51 balls which included 11 fours and one maximum. The English batter looked in perfect touch as he milked the ball around for singles and doubles. However, he did not let go any bad deliveries and converted them in boundaries to keep the action going for the Royals. Buttler was also helped by the likes of Jaiswal and Shimron Hetmyer.
“Cut my finger in the last game but a few stitches and good to play. (On Orange Cap) Nice to wear, but just glad to get a decent start to the season. This is a good wicket, so we need to bowl well to defend this. The powerplay was fantastic, but the bounce got lower as the ball got older and we lost some momentum in the middle-overs by losing a couple of wickets, hope Ashwin and Chahal could do the same for us,” Buttler said at the mid-innings break.
(On getting spin on early) It is a possibility, we’ve built a squad where everyone is comfortable bowling anywhere, so that’s an option but obviously Trent Boult has been bowling really well as well,” he added.
