Buttler knocks back-to-back century, third this season

Jos Buttler once again showcased his 360-degree skills and raced to his century off just 57 deliveries.

He hammered eight massive sixes and as many boundaries to get to his fourth century in the IPL. It is his fifth ton in the T20 format.

He became only the second batsman after Shikhar Dhawan to slam back-to-back hundreds in the history of the IPL. Dhawan achieved the feat for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2020.

Buttler - who is the leading run-scorer in the ongoing tournament - notched up another sensational fifty off 36 deliveries. The right-handed England batsman took his time early in the innings as he could only score 26 runs in the powerplay but the beast mode was soon unleashed by the Englishman as he took every Delhi Capitals' bowler to the cleaners.

The dasher - who slammed a sensational century in the previous match against Kolkata Knight Riders - hit a 107-meter-long maximum in the 10th over, which went into the top tier, bowled by Shardul Thakur to send a message that he's in a menacing form.
