Recently, in the match against RCB, Buttler became only the second player to smash a century in his 100th IPL match. Before that, it was LSG’s KL Rahul who did that against MI in 2022.
Keeping trust in his power-hitting stance, Buttler usually plays in an unorthodox style, which allows him to play out-of-the-textbook shots. Always a good player of pace bowling, he has consistently dominated the pacers, making him one of the most destructive batters in the powerplay.
