IPL 2018, MI vs RR: 4  Reasons why Mumbai lost against Rajasthan

#3 Buttler continues his good form

The move to send Jos Buttler up the order has worked wonders for Rajasthan Royals. The English wicket-keeper batsman has smashed 4 fifties on the trot as an opener and has almost single-handedly won games for Rajasthan in their past few matches.

Buttler continued from where he had left off against Chennai on Friday and displayed some excellent power hitting. Whenever the required run rate kept going up, he would come up with the big shot to keep the Royals in the game. His 94 run knock turned out to be the difference between the 2 sides.
