In a thrilling match against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens, Buttler not only showcased his formidable batting skills but also led the Rajasthan Royals to the highest successful run chase in IPL history.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading">Breaking Down Buttler’s Performance</h3><p>Buttler’s innings was a crescendo of skill, determination, and strategic prowess. Initially, the Royals struggled, losing early wickets, which set the stage for Buttler’s remarkable comeback.</p><p>See Also: <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/rajasthan-royals-beat-kolkata-knight-riders-by-2-wickets-points-table-updated">Rajasthan Royals beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 2 wickets; Points Table updated</a></p><p>Early in his innings, Buttler appeared conservative, scoring 40 runs off 30 balls—a strike rate that was uncharacteristic given the high target. His cautious approach laid a stable foundation, despite the team’s precarious position.</p><p>Post the slow start, Buttler switched gears dramatically. The next 30 balls saw him blasting 67 runs, demonstrating a master class in batting under pressure. His ability to escalate his strike rate from 130 to nearly 180 by the end of his innings was a key factor in the chase.</p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">An Impactful Innings 😍<br><br>🔝 class effort from a 🔝 player ft.
