NEW DELHI: England’s Jos Buttler struck his maiden Twenty20 hundred as the Rajasthan Royals beat a Sunrisers Hyderabad without dropped captain David Warner by 55 runs in the Indian Premier League on Sunday.
Buttler’s 124 was the centrepiece of the Royals’ 220-3, his century against fellow strugglers Hyderabad coming off 56 balls including 10 fours and five sixes.
The Sunrisers only managed 165-8 in reply at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium as the bottom side in the eight-team franchise competition lost to a Royals team who started the day in seventh place.

Hyderabad, who dropped Warner, always lagged behind the huge target and finished at 165-8. Left-arm fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman picked up 3-20 while multi-million dollar signing Chris Morris took 3-29 for Rajasthan. “It s a small ground, the more balls you face you can capitalise in the end,” Buttler said. “I pride myself on my performance for the team. We haven t played our best cricket, hopefully for myself and the team we can kick on in the back half of the tournament.”
