Kohli's hundred went in vain, Buttler's one came in winning cause

Royal Challengers Bengaluru couldn't secure a victory on Virat Kohli's record-breaking day in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Kohli's century tally is now the highest in the IPL. Today, while playing against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur, Royal Challengers Bengaluru set a target of 183 runs after losing 3 wickets in the allotted 20 overs. In response, Rajasthan Royals chased down the target in 19.1 overs with 6 wickets in hand. Jos Buttler ensured victory and secured hundred with a six.

Winning the toss, Rajasthan Royals opted to field first, restricting Royal Challengers Bengaluru to 183 runs. However, their start was marred when Yashasvi Jaiswal got out against Reece Topley on the second ball of the innings, returning with a duck.

Another opener, Jos Buttler, took charge alongside. The team's captain, Sanju Samson, joined forces with Buttler, forming a crucial partnership. The duo contributed 148 runs, putting Rajasthan in a commanding position. Samson's innings of 69 runs off 42 balls ended with a catch by Mohammad Siraj.

Ryan Parag couldn't deliver with the bat today. He failed to score, just like Dhruv Jurel. After the return of Samson, both Parag and Jurel got another chance in the next two overs. However, meanwhile, the match has swung in favor of Rajasthan. Shimron Hetmyer, along with the 90-run partnership with Buttler, is striving for a substantial lead for the team. One run needed off the last over. At the first delivery of the last over, Buttler smashes Cameron Green for a six. With the victory for the team and the joy of the fans, this English batter leaves the field.

Earlier, Kohli showcased his batting prowess on the field. He started by hitting a century with ease. However, the partnership between Kohli and Faf du Plessis couldn't last long, with du Plessis departing after contributing 33 runs off 44 balls. Kohli remained composed, scoring 113 runs off 72 balls, anchoring the innings. Eventually, Glenn Maxwell and Saurabh Chauhan supported him with their runs.

Kohli remained unbeaten at the end of the innings, scoring 113 runs off 72 balls, including 12 fours and 4 sixes. He was partnered by Cameron Green, who scored 5 runs off 6 balls before getting caught. With Kohli's innings, Bengaluru witnessed a total of 8 centuries in the IPL. His innings surpassed his previous highest score in Jaipur, which was 39 runs. Having played a total of 239 IPL matches, Kohli now holds the record for the most centuries in the tournament, surpassing Chris Gayle, who has 7 centuries.
