Key Stats
19.5 Dwayne Bravo to Jos Buttler
Dwayne Bravo to Jos Buttler. Off cutter length ball, wide outside off stump backing away driving, to extra cover for 2 runs, shy attempt by Watson, overthrow by Watson, fielded by Billings. Jos Buttler take a bow, that was one of the best knocks in a T20 runchase you could ever wish to see. The Englishman kickstarted things by spanking three boundaries from the first three balls of the innings, and was still there at the end for a sensational unbeaten 95. Krishnappa Gowtham chipped in with a couple of steepling sixes off the penultimate over, setting the stage for Buttler to make himself a hero with nerves of steel. That was a crucial win for the Royals to push them up to ten points with three matches remaining. CSK will lament a couple of dropped chances, including an uncharacteristic one by MS Dhoni that would've killed off the hosts. We'll be back tomorrow for a double-dose of IPL drama.
