On Saturday, the Rajasthan Royals defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets thanks to an unbeaten century from Jos Butler, who eclipsed Virat Kohli's opening IPL century (6).
In his 100th IPL encounter, Butler got his century off 58 balls with a six when Rajasthan needed one to win their pursuit of 184, with five balls remaining in the Jaipur match.
After scoring 35 runs in his previous three games, Butler found his form. He and captain Sanju Samson put up 148 runs for the second wicket, with Samson making 69.
Butler spoke of his winning smash over the deep mid-wicket fence, "Had a little bit of luck, did not time it well, just got over the rope, delighted with the win."
No matter how long you've spent playing the game, those tensions and worries persist. The mind is a powerful tool; all you need to do is persevere, work hard, and sometimes good fortune will find you.
Earlier, Kohli scored an undefeated 113 to lead Bengaluru to 183-3 after reaching his ninth IPL century in 67 balls, the highest by any batter.
However, his efforts were in vain as the first-time winners, Rajasthan, secured the top spot in the 10-team table with four wins, keeping them undefeated throughout the season, ahead of second-placed Kolkata Knight Riders, who have won three games in a row.
After getting off to a poor start, Butler-who, along with Chris Gayle, now has six tons in the IPL-blasted Mayank Dagar for three fours and a six in a 20-run sixth over, setting up the chase.
