Rajasthan Royals defeated Chennai Super Kings by seven wicekts to move up to the fifth spot in the IPL 2020 points table.
Speaking about his performance, Jos Buttler said, "Nice to get a win on the board tonight. I tried to come out with some intensity in my batting. I didn't think I had enough last game, and I decided to take a few more options tonight, and it came off."
"You have to keep trusting yourself and particularly when there's no scoreboard pressure, you can play yourself in and let cut loose in the end. I'm happy (batting at No.5) to do whatever the team needs to me do. This is my role for now," said the 30-year-old England batsman.
Steve Smith praises Jos Buttler
Smith saidm "Sharjah is a little different from here. The wicket was stopping, not the best for batting, and good to be on the winning side. I thought we bowled well in the powerplay. The spinners bowled good lengths, with the googlies and leggies, building a lot of pressure."
