#1 Jos Buttler makes it three half-centuries in a row
Jos Buttler has been the standout batsman for Rajasthan Royals in what has been an abysmal IPL 2018 campaign and how the team management would be ruing themselves for not taking a call to open the innings with the England international earlier in the season.

He has been a revelation at the top of the order for Ajinkya Rahane's side and strode to his third consecutive half-century with his knock of 82 against Kings XI Punjab today.
He started off briskly, making good use of the fielding restrictions to power his side to 63 of the powerplay overs. He stayed true to his game even in the middle overs, forging a useful 53-run partnership for the third wicket with Sanju Samson.
Buttler looked well set for a century but ultimately sacrificed his wicket for the side as he was out stumped off Mujeeb ur Rahman as he danced down the wicket looking for the big shots towards the end.
