Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler pummelled a 60-ball 106* against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Friday.
First batter with 800+ runs this season
Buttler has also crossed the 800-run mark in IPL 2022. He is only the third player after Virat Kohli and David Warner to score over 800 runs in one IPL edition.
Four hundreds in a single IPL edition
The way Buttler progressed, clocking four hundreds in IPL 2022 seemed very much in reach. He has now equaled Kohli's record of most hundreds in one edition (four).
Joint second-most hundreds in IPL
Buttler scored his maiden ton in IPL 2021. He now has five IPL hundreds, joint second-most alongside Kohli. He only ranks behind Chris Gayle (six hundreds).
Sixth to score a ton in IPL playoffs
Buttler's Qualifier 2 mayhem resulted in him joining an elite list of cricketers. He has now become only the sixth player to have scored a hundred in IPL playoffs.
Fourth-most sixes in an IPL edition
Buttler hit six sixes on Friday to race to 45 sixes in IPL 2022. He now ranks fourth among players with the most sixes in an IPL edition. Gayle (59) tops the chart.
Most runs in playoffs in single season
Buttler now also holds the feat of most runs in the playoffs in a single IPL edition (195). The Englishman has bettered Warner's tally of 190 runs from IPL 2016.
