In a hilarious conversation, Jos Buttler said it was Yuzvendra Chahal who kept the pressure on him to perform well.
“Absolutely! Ever since you turned up this year, you have been putting pressure on the opening spot. Have to take my time to score some runs to keep you on the outside,” Jos Buttler told Yuzvendra Chahal in a chat after the match.

For those wondering what is the context here, in a social media prank by RR’s Twitter account, Chahal was teased to open the batting with Buttler. It should be noted that Chahal isn’t known for his batting prowess.
Jos Buttler smashed a 68-ball 100 while Yuzvendra Chahal returned with two for 26 in his four overs to thrash Mumbai Indians by 23 runs. Chahal had almost got a hat-trick, only to be denied by teammate Karun Nair, who dropped the catch of Murugan Ashwin in the slips.
“Really enjoyed today. When you are batting first you try to work out what will be a good score and I thought we put up a nice total,” Jos Buttler said.

Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals have made a strong start this time with two wins in a row. With Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna firing while R Ashwin & Yuzvendra Chahal leading the spin attack besides Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson & Devdutt Padikkal amongst runs, RR are aiming to end their title drought.
“I have huge hopes for us as a side this year. I love the squad we have put together. Lots of great people involved in the background and a lot of guys for you to get to know and have fun with,” Jos Buttler said.
