Top player, top innings. Doesn't get talked about as a T20 giant as much as he should #JosButtler. — Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) April 2, 2022

#JosButtler, the greatest ever limited overs player from England, becomes the first batter to score 100 in #IPL2022. When this man is in full flow, even the best of bowling attacks looks ordinary. After all he idolises GOAT #ABdeVilliers and only taking his legacy forward. #MIvRR pic.twitter.com/tDYTiZiKEQ

Mumbai Indians will have to chase down a big target of 194 runs but they have plenty of good batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Kieron Pollard, and Tim David in their squad whereas Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin will have the responsibility to defend this target.
So it's going to be an interesting run chase. Stay tuned for more updates.
