IPL
Sangakkara: Buttler is world's best white-ball opener
|| CF DESK ||
Rajasthan Royals head coach Kumar Sangakkara showered praises over swashbuckling wicket-keeper batter Jos Buttler for his blazing century against RCB in IPL.
Buttler returned to form with a stunning 58-ball century, leading Rajasthan Royals (RR) to a 6-wicket victory over RCB.
Chasing 183, Buttler joined forces with skipper Sanju Samson to stitch a 148-partnership for the second wicket and then pulled off a stunning victory with a six which also took him to his sixth hundred in what was his 100th IPL match.
"Jos is the best white-ball opener in the world, and all he needed to do was sit back and ignore some of the noise," said the Sangakkara.
Buttler said Rajasthan must capitalise on their strong start to stay in contention for a playoff berth.
"We've started this season really well. We've been together for three seasons, everyone's comfortable with each other, we just need to keep this momentum going," he added.
