Jos Buttler, who led RR to a historic victory, shares an epic “mic drop” photo

Jos Buttler’s performance against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Tuesday night will live on in history. The Rajasthan Royals were 128/6 while chasing 223 and needed 96 runs in 36 balls, therefore, their chances of winning were not even 1. However, the Englishman overcame his own will, as RR’s victory probability approached 100 in the last over. With nine boundaries and six sixes in his unbroken 107 off sixty balls, he helped lead the Royals to the most successful run chase in Indian Premier League history, a historic victory.

Buttler was clearly having trouble. He was panting heavily, drenched in perspiration, and could hardly move. Despite his physical limitations, he assisted the Royals in executing a theft that would go down in the annals of both the team and the competition.

He may have given the greatest “mic drop” ever as he sprang into the air and tossed away his helmet and bat after scoring the winning run on the final ball of the innings.

The incident was caught on video, and it didn’t take long for it to go viral once it was posted to social media. The Rajasthan Royals used the picture as their cover photo, while Buttler himself posted it to his X account.

“The key was to keep believing.”

Following the historic victory, Buttler claimed he learned a valuable lesson from Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni about how to succeed in challenging circumstances and that he never lost confidence throughout his game-winning hundred.

“Remain optimistic; that was the true secret today. I was having some trouble with my rhythm. There are moments when you feel irritated or self-conscious. I remind myself to be cool and keep going; you’ll find your groove again. It’s alright.

You’ve seen insane things occur several times throughout the IPL. Buttler added, “I tried to do the same. I saw how guys like Dhoni and Kohli stay till the end and never give up.”

The Englishman also gave appreciation to Kumar Sangakkara, RR’s Director of Cricket, for helping him to believe in himself more.

“Sangakkara has often warned me that there is always a breaking point. Giving up and losing your wicket is the worst thing you can do. All he says to me, Sangakkara, is to remain there, and eventually things will pick up steam. Over the last several years, it has played a significant role in his play, he continued.
