Butler in semi-decent form is still formidable. Butler in top form is a beast.

The most expensive player on your team cannot be your weak link.

Jos Buttler is a superstar, the backbone of the magnificent English white-ball teams. He gave a brilliant lesson to everyone on how to pace the T20 innings #KKRvRR #KKRvsRR #IPL2024 #cricket

I really would have been more surprised if @josbutterl hadn’t finished that game when Powell came out, that’s how good the man is… his ability to read game situations and get emotion out of them is what sets him apart 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

RR had no business winning this. Her loss seemed certain. But Jos Buttler batted like a man possessed. Not forgetting Rovman Powell’s attack that he unleashed on Sunil Narine. #IPL2024 #KKRvRR

Very grateful to Jos Buttler for denying us a Chahal cameo.

Take this. Buttler faced every ball of the last three overs of that chase.
He made sure to remain on strike even at the cost of sacrificing a wicket (Boult).#RRvKKR

Buttler will go down in the IPL hall of fame with the likes of Gayle, ABD and Warner.
