The cricket fraternity hailed Jos Buttler for his record-topping century against the Kolkata Knight Riders, which guided the Rajasthan Royals to a two-wicket win in the ongoing Indian Premier League at the iconic Eden Gardens. Buttler, who struggled in the first couple of games in the IPL, managed to tap into his rich vein of form and produce a masterclass with the bat. While chasing a massive total of 224, the 33-year-old opening batter kept RR's hopes alive even when the team needed 79 runs in the final five overs. Former England captain Michael Vaughan labelled Buttler's knocks as "surely one of the greatest ever T20 innings .. absolutely incredible @josbuttler." England's current Test skipper, Ben Stokes, hailed Buttler and his ability to read the game. "Genuinely would have been more surprised if @josbuttler didn't finish that game off when Powell got out, that's how good the man is..his ability to read game situations and take emotion out of it is what sets him apart," Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan lavished praise on the England star and wrote on X, "RR ka Jos high hai boss. Mind blowing inning from Jos Buttler" His blitz with the bat marked Buttler's seventh IPL century and he became the second-highest hundred scorer in the competition's history. His tally is only bettered by Virat Kohli's eight centuries. Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Chris Gayle is in the third spot, with six centuries to his name. KL Rahul, David Warner and Shane Watson have four centuries each to their names in the IPL. Buttler has three hundreds while chasing in the IPL, which is the most for any batter. Kohli and Ben Stokes are the only other batters who have struck multiple hundreds while chasing in the competition.
