Jos Buttler’s Record Breaking Feat Against RCB – Joins Gayle & de Villiers in IPL History

Jos Buttler : The 2025 IPL season has already witnessed some breathtaking performances, and Jos Buttler has once again shown why he is one of the most dangerous batters in the tournament’s history. His stunning 73-run knock against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) helped Gujarat Titans (GT) secure a dominant 8-wicket victory at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. With this innings, Buttler has now joined the legendary duo of Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers in an elite IPL record list.

Buttler’s consistency against RCB has made him one of their biggest nightmares over the years, much like how Chris Gayle tormented Punjab Kings and AB de Villiers dominated Delhi Capitals in past seasons.

A Strong Start to IPL 2025 for Buttler

Buttler’s form has been exceptional in IPL 2025 after being picked up by GT in the mega auction following his release from Rajasthan Royals. In just three matches, he has already recorded two half-centuries, proving to be a key asset for GT.

In this match, with Shubman Gill falling in the third over, Buttler took his time before accelerating. After scores of 54 and 39 in his previous two innings, he once again reminded everyone of his match-winning abilities despite batting at No. 3 this season.

Buttler’s Humble Reaction to His Heroics

Despite his incredible knock, Buttler admitted he had a moment of embarrassment during the match when he almost fumbled a catch. Speaking at the post-match presentation, he humorously recalled:

“I don’t know, pretty embarrassed. I tried to celebrate in a Herschelle Gibbs style, way too early. We know Salt is a dangerous player. I barely got a glove on it, and it hit me in the chest. So, I was determined to score some runs.”

What’s Next for Buttler & GT?

With GT off to a solid start in IPL 2025 and Buttler in red-hot form, the team will be hoping for more such performances as the tournament progresses. RCB, on the other hand, will need to find a way to break the Buttler curse if they want to turn their season around.
