- 94* vs Mumbai Indians – Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, IPL 2018

Before Buttler’s Sunday exploits, the current England white-ball format skipper slammed back-to-back nervous nineties scores in the IPL 2018. The first came against the Chennai Super Kings at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, where he scored an unbeaten 95. In the very next match, Buttler scored an unbeaten 94 against the Mumbai Indians, this time at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Coincidentally, in both games, Rajasthan Royals were chasing the target, and in both chases, Jos Buttler top scored for RR but agonizingly fell short of a century.
Jos Buttler’s dismissal against Sunrisers Hyderabad by pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the first instance in which the right-handed batsman was dismissed in the nervous nineties. Quite an achievement for a batsman who scored four hundreds in the IPL 2022.
