Jos Buttler Wallops 2nd Biggest Six in IPL
In a thrilling encounter between Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants, Jos Buttler showed why he is one of the most dangerous batsmen in the Indian Premier League (IPL). After a slow start, the Englishman exploded into action with a mammoth six that sailed over the deep mid-wicket boundary and into the stands.
Buttler and his opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal had to navigate a tricky start as the ball swung and seamed in the early overs. But the experienced duo showed their class and steadily built a partnership that kept the Royals in the hunt for victory.
How the Six Happened
It was in the fifth over that Buttler decided to take the attack to the Lucknow bowlers. Yudhvir Singh Charak, a promising young fast bowler, was on the receiving end of Buttler’s wrath as he dispatched the ball into the stratosphere. The ball landed 112 meters away, leaving the crowd in awe of the power and timing of the shot.
Despite the early fireworks, Buttler and Jaiswal kept their heads and continued to build their partnership. The pair brought up their third fifty-plus stand of the season, and the Royals looked well on their way to chasing down Lucknow’s total of 155.
In the end, the Rajasthan Royals comfortably chased down the target, with Buttler and Jaiswal putting on a masterclass in opening batting. Buttler finished with a well-deserved half-century, and his team will be looking to build on this victory as the tournament progresses.
Buttler’s IPL Performance
Buttler’s innings were a reminder of his class and the impact he can have on a game. He was the leading run-scorer in the IPL last season and has started this campaign in fine form. Before the game, he was seventh on the list of top run-scorers, but after his blistering knock, he will surely climb up the rankings.
The top five longest sixes in IPL 2023 include Faf Duplessis’ 115-meter six at the top, followed by Buttler’s 112-meter six. CSK star Shivam Dubey occupies the third and fifth spots with two 102-meter sixes, while KL Rahul of Punjab Kings is fourth with a 103-meter six.
Buttler’s Last Achievement
Before hitting the second biggest six in the IPL, Buttler reached a milestone of 3000 runs on April 12 in the match against Chennai Super Kings. Buttler reached this tally in just 85 innings, making him the second-fastest overseas batsman to reach the milestone after Chris Gayle, who reached it in 75 innings. David Warner and Faf du Plessis had both previously achieved the milestone in 94 innings.
Overall, Buttler is ranked third in the list of fastest batsmen to score 3000 runs in the IPL, with KL Rahul being the only Indian on the list in second place with 80 innings.
As the IPL 2023 season progresses, fans can expect more power-hitting and record-breaking performances from the best cricketers in the world. With Buttler in form, Rajasthan Royals will be hoping to continue their winning streak and make a strong push toward the playoffs.
