On Wednesday, during match number 17 between the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, the English cricketer Jos Buttler achieved a significant milestone in the Indian Premier League (IPL) by surpassing 3000 runs. He has been a vital player for the Rajasthan Royals since joining the franchise in 2018 and has played a pivotal role in their success over the years. His feat has been recognized and appreciated by cricket fans around the world.
First Englishman to do so
Jos Buttler, the swashbuckling English cricketer, has become the 21st batsman and the third-fastest player in terms of innings to reach the 3000-run milestone in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Buttler accomplished this feat in his 85th innings, following Chris Gayle, who reached the mark in 75 innings, and KL Rahul, who took 80 innings to achieve this milestone. Buttler’s consistency and ability to score runs at a rapid pace have made him a valuable asset to the Rajasthan Royals team.
Moreover, Buttler has become the first English player to reach the 3000-run milestone in the IPL and only the sixth overseas player to achieve this feat, joining the likes of David Warner, AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle, Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, and Kieron Pollard. Jos Buttler is widely regarded as one of the most prolific batters in modern cricket, and his performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) is a testament to his immense talent. He made his IPL debut in 2016 with Mumbai Indians, but it was with Rajasthan Royals, the team he joined in 2018, that Buttler truly made a mark in the tournament and the cricketing world.
Buttler began the 2023 season on an aggressive note, scoring two half-centuries in the first two matches of the tournament. Ahead of the match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Buttler needed just 17 runs to reach the milestone of 3000 runs in the IPL. He achieved the feat in the 7th over of the game, becoming the third-fastest player in terms of innings to reach this milestone.
