“Worst season for Buttler and people thought that he will break Kohli’s 973 runs”, Fans react as Jos Buttler registers the most ducks by a batsman (5) in the IPL history in a single season

Punjab Kings, at home, have scored 48 runs off the Royals’ two most seasoned bowlers in the last two overs and 70 runs off the last five. The momentum is with the Punjab Kings, and the Rajasthan Royals need to win this game badly. Curran batted for 49 runs off 31 balls. He did not face any deliveries in Boult’s 20th over. Shahrukh hit two boundaries and a six. He ended up with 41 runs off 23 balls.

In order to beat RCB’s current NRR, the Royals need to complete the chase in 19 overs. If the final ball is a four or six, Aditya Tare-style, they may reach their target in 19.1 overs.

The road ahead is fraught with difficulty for the Punjab Kings. To increase their NRR over RCB’s present level, PBKS must limit the Royals to 65. However, maybe they will have some reason for optimism after learning that the Royals were bowled out for 59 the night before.

Jos Buttler registers the most ducks by a batsman (5) in the IPL history in a single season

The above math assumes that RCB’s last game ends in a loss by exactly one run or on the last ball. If RCB loses by a larger margin, the margin between the two teams will widen. Kings holding the Royals to 74 runs tonight, instead of 65, would be enough if RCB lost to the Titans by 10 runs.

Buttler’s miserable second half ends with his third consecutive duck thanks to a full ball that slides into his pads off Kagison Rabada. With his fifth duck of the season, Buttler has set a new record in the Indian Premier League. He is the first man in IPL history to register five ducks in a single season.
