England's Jos Buttler continued his splendid form at the Indian Premier League (IPL) with his third century of this year's tournament for Rajasthan Royals. In their clash in Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, the explosive batter smashed a ton in 57 deliveries against Delhi Capital.
After a quiet start to his innings, well supported by Devdutt Padikkal, who smashed 54 off 35 balls, the Englishman took it to the Delhi Capitals. He started dealing in sixes after a relatively quiet powerplay.
