Winning the match against Delhi Capitals, the English batter Jos Buttler shared a few words about his form in the post-match presentation.

"Was a special knock, enjoyed it. I love this stadium, it was a fantastic atmosphere, my first IPL was here with the Mumbai Indians. I am enjoying the best form of my life, I need to continue with this form all the way through," Jos Buttler was quoted as same as in Cricbuzz.

"The ball swung in the first over and it was a bit tricky. You need to soak up that pressure and come through it. Once you get through it, the confidence comes back.

We have managed to build such good partnerships, Devdutt played well from the other end, and we decided to attack and put the pressure back on Delhi," he added.

"The wickets may change, there are going to be used wickets with only four grounds in the tournament. There wasn't any dew tonight, the teams might favour batting first if the conditions are different. Everyone will need to adapt as the tournament goes on," he further added.

Besides, during Rajasthan Royals' inning, Khaleel Ahmed dropped an easy catch of Sanju Samson when he was batting at 28, and then he ended up the innings by remaining unbeaten on 42 runs.
