England batter Jos Buttler on April 18 (Monday) strengthened his position in the Orange Cap (Most Runs) race as he scored his second century of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) edition in the group-stage match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Buttler has been in excellent touch this edition, having already scored two centuries and two fifties in six games for Rajasthan Royals (RR). The right-handed batter produced an excellent display of batting and kept the Royals’ score moving throughout the innings. He reached the three-figure mark with a six off Australian pacer Pat Cummins in the 17th over. His 61-ball 103 included nine fours and five maximums. He got out after top-edging it to Varun Chakaravarthy. Before getting dismissed, Buttler became the second overseas player, after veteran Shane Watson, to score a hundred at the Brabourne Stadium. Meanwhile, the opener initially put up a 97-run opening partnership with Devdutt Padikkal (24 off 18 balls). Buttler then teamed up with skipper Sanju Samson to add 67 runs for the second wicket, taking the Royals past the 150 mark in the 15th over.
