The final of the 15th season of the Indian Premier League is to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans (RR vs GT)The teams will compete for the title. Gujarat is playing IPL for the first time and has reached the final in its first season. Rajasthan is playing the final after the first season of the league. The team played and won the final in 2008. Since then, Rajasthan has now made it to the finals of IPL-2022. One of his batsmen has been instrumental in getting him to this point. The batsman’s name is Jose Butler (Jos Buttler). Rajasthan will have high hopes from Butler in the final while Butler will be looking to break Virat Kohli’s record.
Butler batted brilliantly and scored a century in Qualifier-2 and led the Royal Challengers Bangalore team out of the way. This was Butler’s fourth century of the season. With this, he has equaled Virat Kohli, the veteran batsman of Bangalore, in scoring the most centuries in the IPL season. The duo holds the record for most centuries in a single season. Butler has a chance to set the record on Sunday by beating Kohli in the final. If Butler scores a century against Gujarat in the final, he will set the record for most centuries in an IPL season.
Warner will be left behind!
It is not easy to score a century in a T20 match, but it would not be a surprise to see Butler in that rhythm. He had a great start to the season but lost momentum after coming in the middle. However, the right-handed batsman took all his chances in the playoffs and played two superb innings. Breaking Kohli’s record in the final will not be easy for Butler but he is very close to breaking David Warner’s record. Warner is the second highest run scorer in the IPL season. He scored 848 runs that season as captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016. Butler has scored 824 runs in 16 matches this season. He is 24 runs away from breaking Warner’s record.
Will Kohli be No. 1?
Kohli holds the record for most runs scored in a single season. He scored 973 runs in 17 matches as the captain of Bangalore in 2016. No one has come close to Kohli in terms of scoring the most runs in a season. Butler is 129 runs away from this record. It remains to be seen whether Butler will overtake Kohli in this regard.
