When Rajasthan Royals needed one batsman to stay in the middle and deliver for them in the crucial match against the Chennai Super Kings, Jos Buttler took the responsibility and secured the win for Rajasthan. The Twitterati were awestruck as Buttler single handedly kept RR's hopes alive in the IPL

Brief Scores: Chennai Super Kings 176/4 (Suresh Raina 52, Shane Watson 39; Jofra Archer 2/42, Ish Sodhi 1/29) lost to Rajasthan Royals 177/6 (Jos Buttler 95*, Stuart Binny 22; Shardul Thakur 1/22, Ravindra Jadeja 1/28) by four wickets.

Interesting fact!

RR have taken the fewest wickets (50) and CSK has lost the fewest wickets(50) in #IPL2018 . #RRvCSK

But ended up Dhoni not even getting on strike in the last over!

Dhoni saving everything for the last over and but not getting to bat is like saving money for imaginary GF.
