Buttler achieved the feat last night during his team's match against Chennai Super Kings. Thanks to his composed half-century, Rajasthan Royals won the game by 3 runs.

Buttler held the fort after his opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal got out early. With Devdutt Padikkal getting stuck, the English batter took it upon himself, and kept the scoreboard rolling.
