Sunil narin

Star Sports Cricket Live: Former Australia cricketer Tom Moody has heaped praise on Rajasthan Royals' (RR) batter Jos Buttler, calling him an "elite athlete" for standing till the last ball to hit the winning runs. He also opined that Buttler's knock has to go as one of the "great IPL 100s".

In Tuesday's match when KKR posted a huge 224-run target, riding on Sunil Narin's century (109 off 56), RR seemed hopeful of chasing the target. However, wickets at regular intervals ensured they were 128/6 in 14 overs, with the boundaries drying up.

Buttler, who was on 42 off 33 balls with Rovman Powell at the other end, then took matters into his own hands and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. He scores his seventh hundred in the IPL, one of his most memorable ones, to remain unbeaten on 107 off 60 balls.
