"Obviously had a little bit of luck"- RR opener Jos Buttler after his match-winning century in IPL 2024 clash vs RCB
At the post-match presentation, RR batter Jos Buttler reflected on his Player of the Match award performance against RCB and 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."
On his individual form and the team's progress in this season's IPL, Buttler said:
"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."
MI will square off against DC in the next match of IPL 2024 on Sunday (April 7) afternoon at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
