WHEN Jos Buttler was batting on 42 from 33 balls, chasing 224, it seemed like yet another anchor innings.
At that point, Rajasthan Royals were 128/6, needing 96 runs from 36 balls.
Comparisons started coming in on social media, referring to the Virat Kohli century against Rajasthan that went in vain.
And it seemed fair to be honest, with Buttler batting at 127.27 strike rate. But there was a difference. Buttler was doing is job of holding one end while others were going bonkers. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 19 off 9 balls.
Sanju Samson (12 off 8). Riyan Parag 34 off just 14. Such was the intent from other end that despite losing four wickets, RR were still in the game.
