    What's the story

    Jos Buttler unleashed his beast mode in a crucial run-chase against Kolkata Knight Riders in Match 31 of the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) season at Eden Gardens.

    Buttler's incredible century helped the Royals chase down a mammoth 224. They were down to 121/6 before he tormented the KKR bowlers.

    Buttler smashed his seventh ton, now the second-most in the IPL.

    Knock

    A scintillating knock from Buttler

    Despite losing Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, and Riyan Parag, RR reached 100 within 10 overs.

    Buttler held his end, having stitched crucial partnerships with Samson and Riyan. However, RR slumped from 100/3 to 121/6 in no time.

    Buttler kept RR afloat along with Rovman Powell. With 46 runs required in three overs, he went all out.

    He completed his ton in the final over.

    Buttler raced to his century off just 55 balls on the final over's first delivery. He eventually smashed an unbeaten 107 off 60 balls, a knock laced with 13 fours and 6 sixes.

    Record

    Buttler goes past Chris Gayle

    As mentioned, Buttler now has the second-most centuries in the IPL (7). He broke a tie with Universe Boss Chris Gayle, who owns six centuries in this regard.

    Buttler is now only behind Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Virat Kohli (8) in terms of IPL tons.

    Buttler has become the first batter with more than two centuries in IPL run-chases. The one against KKR was his third such ton in this regard.

    Kohli and Ben Stokes follow Buttler with two centuries each.

    Notably, Kohli and Stokes are the only batters other than Buttler with multiple hundreds in run-chases in the cash-rich league.

    Angkrish Raghuvanshi (30) and Rinku Singh (20* off 9 balls) were the only other KKR batters to score over 15.

    In reply, RR were off to a flier before slowing down. Buttler broke free just at the right time as RR crossed the line on the final ball.
