Jos Buttler was in great form in the game vs Delhi Capitals.

He started off slowy but his innings picked up pace right after powerplay as he started to smash bowlers all over the park. 

In one of Shardul Thakur's over, he smashed a 107m six. 

Watch it below:

This is Jos Buttler's fifth ton in T20s and fourth one in IPL alone.

He was involved in a 155-runs partnership with Devdutt Paddikal, who also finished with a fifty, which is also the best stand for RR for any wicket in the history of the league.

Buttler has smashed two tons before the murderous knock vs Delhi Capitals. He had scored 103 off just 61 deliveries against Kolkata Knight Riders following it with 100 vs Mumbai Indians.

The 155-run opening partnership was finally broken as left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed dismissed Padikkal leg-before for 54 off 35 balls.Buttler went on to score his century in 57 balls his third of the season becoming only the second batter in the history of IPL to score three centuries in one season after Virat Kohli who scored four tons in the 2016 season.

Captain Sanju Samson walked in to bat who is playing his 100th match for Rajasthan Royals and he also went on to notch up over 5000 runs in T20s. Buttler-Samson took their team`s total beyond the 200-run mark in 18.4 overs. Mustafizur Rahman finally dismissed Buttler for 116 hitting nine fours and nine sixes as Rajasthan lost their second wicket of the match for 202.

Some lusty hitting by captain Sanju Samson helped his team notch up 222/2 in 20 overs. Samson scored an unbeaten 46 off 19 balls hitting five fours and three sixes.
