Buttler's unbeaten century helps Rajasthan beat Kolkata off final ball
KOLKATA, India (AP) — Jos Buttler’s unbeaten century helped Rajasthan Royals chase down 224 and snatch a breathtaking two-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League on Tuesday.
The Englishman hit 107 not out off 60 balls and carried Rajasthan to 224-8 off the final ball.
Buttler had earlier watched from the dugout as Sunil Narine (109) smashed his maiden T20 century in Kolkata’s strong total of 223-6 after Rajasthan won the toss and elected to field.
Buttler, brought in as impact substitute, kept Rajasthan in the hunt despite wickets falling around him as he took the game deep before counterattacking in the last five overs.
Spinners Narine (2-30) and Varun Chakravarthy (2-36) strangled Rajasthan in the middle overs as it slumped to 121-6 in the 13th over. But Rovman Powell hit a brisk 26 off 13 balls before he fell leg before wicket in the 17th over in Narine’s last over before Buttler singlehandedly took the game away from Kolkata.
