Jos Buttler made the record of ‘triple century’ in T20, became the fourth cricketer and second wicketkeeper to do so.

Butler achieved this special milestone by taking the catch of Angkrish Raghuvanshi off the ball of Kagiso Rabada during KKR’s innings. Jos Buttler is only the fourth player and second wicketkeeper to take 300 catches in T20 cricket. The record of taking most catches in the shortest format of cricket is held in the name of former West Indies cricketer Kieron Pollard. Pollard has taken 405 catches in T20. At the same time, the name of David Miller is at second place in this list, who has taken 332 catches, while Quinton de Kock is at third place in the list with 316 catches.

Butler’s performance so far in IPL 2026 has been excellent. Before this match, while playing for Gujarat Titans, he had scored 176 runs at a strike rate of 158 in 4 innings. Butler also scored two half-centuries during this period. In the last match played against Lucknow Super Giants, Butler performed brilliantly and played a strong inning of 60 runs in 37 balls. He hit 11 fours in this innings.

However, he could not play a big innings in this match. Butler definitely looked in great form, but after scoring 25 runs, Varun Chakraborty trapped him in his net and got him caught out. Butler hit two fours and two sixes. It is noteworthy that Butler was seen struggling for runs in the T20 World Cup 2026. England’s experienced wicketkeeper-batsman Butler could score only 87 runs in the 8 innings played in the tournament at an average of 10.87 and a modest strike rate of 116.

Batting first at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium, the entire KKR team was all out after scoring 180 runs in 20 overs. KKR, who came to bat first after winning the toss, did not have a good start. Mohammad Siraj sent Ajinkya Rahane to the pavilion without opening the account. Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who came at number three, also could not show anything special with the bat and was out after scoring only 8 runs in 4 balls. Tim Seifert was also out after scoring 19 runs after facing 14 balls. Cameron Green took over the innings of KKR, which was looking in trouble after losing 3 wickets at the score of 32. Wickets kept falling on one side, but Green held one end and batted brilliantly and played a strong inning of 79 runs in 55 balls. In this innings, Green hit 7 fours and 4 sixes.

Gujarat Titans did not make any changes in their playing eleven for this match. At the same time, KKR team came on the field with one change. Kolkata Knight Riders have included Tim Seifert in the playing eleven in place of Finn Allen. GT has played 4 matches so far in IPL 2026, out of which the team has won 2, while the team had to face defeat in the same number of matches.
