Jos Buttler Discusses His Century in IPL 2024 Match Against RCB
Jos Buttler, the RR batter, expresseÂd his thoughts on his Player of the Match performance against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the post-match presentation. He said:
“Obviously had a little bit of luck. In the end I didn’t time it well, it just went over the rope. But happy to get the win. However long you play the game you still have those anxieties and stresses. You sort of dig into the things you’ve done well, keep working hard. And you need a bit of luck along the way. Just about having faith that at some point it will be okay.”

Buttler spoke on his own form and the team’s development in this season’s IPL:
“I actually did feel really good in the last game even though I got just 13 runs. I had a really good tournament in South Africa at the start of the year. I struggled last year but I felt I needed just one innings to get on the board.
“We’ve started this season really well. I know we’ve been together now for three seasons, everyone’s been comfortable with each other and the support staff’s been outstanding. But we just need to keep doing well.”
