“He’s been excellent, the best T20 opener in the world,” said RR coach Kumar Sangakkara after Buttler’s century against KKR. “We are very lucky to have him. He’s been batting really well, really deep into the innings. Not just about the powerplay. And that’s why he’s got the Orange Cap.”
He’s one of a kind ❤#IPL2022 | @josbuttler https://t.co/kQEpn7HG7q
