Gujarat Titans’ Jos Buttler reached a landmark in the IPL against Delhi Capitals, hitting his 600th six in T20 cricket. The England star became the fifth batter to reach this milestone, joining Chris Gayle (1,056 sixes), Kieron Pollard (981), Andre Russell (784), and Nicholas Pooran (712). Buttler’s 27-ball 52 featured five sixes and three fours at a strike rate of 192.59. His five sixes in the first six overs now rank as the second-most for a non-opener in an IPL innings, only behind Suresh Raina’s famous 87 off 25 balls, which included six sixes, against PBKS in the 2014 Qualifier 2 at Wankhede. This innings also ended Buttler’s 16-match wait for a T20 fifty, his last coming for Durban Super Giants against Pretoria Capitals in the SA20 earlier this year. He had a disappointing T20 World Cup, scoring just 87 runs in eight innings at an average of 10.87. So far in IPL 2026, Buttler has scored 116 runs in three innings at an average of 38.66 and a strike rate above 156. Across all T20s this year, he has 422 runs in 19 innings at 23.44 with a strike rate of 140.66, including two fifties and a best of 97*. In the match, after losing Sai Sudharsan cheaply for 12, Buttler and Shubman Gill added 60 runs to steady Gujarat Titans. Gill then partnered with Washington Sundar (55 off 32) for a 104-run stand, helping GT reach 210/4 in 20 overs. Glenn Phillips (14*) and Rahul Tewatia (1*) remained unbeaten. For Delhi Capitals, Mukesh Kumar was the pick of the bowlers with 2/55, while Kuldeep Yadav and Lungi Ngidi took a wicket each. Despite KL Rahul’s 92 off 52, DC fell agonisingly short by one run, with David Miller’s 41 off 20 balls keeping the contest alive until the final delivery.
