Buttler scored his second century this season in the match against KKR, having earlier scored against Mumbai Indians.

Buttler's 103 helped Rajasthan set a mighty target of 218 before Chahal's sensational spell saw the Royals clinch the thriller by seven runs.
Following the match, Chahal had a a cheeky response to Buttler's knock. He asked, "With me is Joshi Bhai who has scored two centuries in six matches. Is this natural or am I putting pressure on you as I am the opener as well?"
In the build up to this IPL season, Chahal had hilariously asked Buttler and Royals to open with the England batter.
Buttler responded saying, "Absolutely. So your pressure is pushing me on in training and in the matches. I was obviously delighted to score a century."
Buttler asked in return about Chahal's celebration after the hat-trick that went viral on social media.
"The celebration, are you trying to get into modelling or something?" Buttler asked to which Chahal said, "It's very special for me. I had decided that when I do something special, like if I take five wickets, I will do that."
