Jos Buttler struck a solid century as Rajasthan Royals sealed a six-wicket win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 2024 Indian Premier League on Saturday in Jaipur.
The win in their first home match of the season means that the Royals have won each of their four opening matches of the season while Bengaluru have won only one of their five games.
It was a battle of the batters with Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson deciding to bowl first after winning the toss. The visitors finished their innings with a score of 183/3, and the Royals chased it down to score 189/4 with five balls to spare.
In the first innings, Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis took advantage of the relatively placid pitch in Jaipur and put on an opening partnership of 125.
Kohli reached his half-century in 39 balls with Bengaluru at 53/0 after the first six overs. However, as the pitch started to get stuck in a little bit for the slower balls, the scoring rate of the visitors also started to drop. Rajasthan would get their first breakthrough with du Plessis being caught by Buttler in the deep off Yuzvendra Chahal at the end of the 14th over.
