IPL 2018, RR vs DD: Five Reasons for Delhi's loss in a rain-curtailed match

#4 Buttler’s Cameo in the end

Buttler's blitz at the end powered the Royals to 153

Before rain could halt the game, it was some brutal hitting from the Royals’ wicket-keeper batsman Jos Buttler that saw the team post a considerable target in their available overs.

The blitz at the end powered them to 153 in quick time and helped them with the DLS par score in the end.

Buttler mustered 29 runs from just 18 deliveries, smoking them at a strike rate in excess of 150.

It was a crucial stage that asked for the much-needed flourish at the end after the Rahane-Samson partnership laid a good platform for him to go after the bowlers from the first ball.
