Gujarat Titans’ Jos Buttler reached a milestone in the IPL against Delhi Capitals, as he reached his 600th in T20 cricket. The English star became the fifth player 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 features 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, behind only him

Famous 87 off 25 balls, which included a six, against PBKS in the 2014 2nd qualifier at Wankhede. This innings also ended Buttler’s 16-match wait for a T20 fifty, his last appearance for the Durban Super Giants coming against Pretoria Capitals in 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 at a strike rate of 140.66, including a fifty and a best of 97*. In the match, after Sai Sudharsen lost cheaply for 12, Buttler and Shubman Gill added 60 runs for Gujarat Titans.
Gill then partnered Washington Sundar (55 off 32) for a 104-run stand, helping GT to 210/4 in 20 overs. Glenn Phillips (14*) and Rahul Tewatia (1*) remain unbeaten. For Delhi Capitals, Mukesh Kumar was the pick of the bowlers with 2/55 while
