In the 2022 IPL season, Butler breaks Kohli's record
Despite the fact that Rajasthan lost to Kolkata, fans had great hopes for Joss Butler, the batter. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to perform many spectacular things during the match and had to leave early.
Butler broke Virat Kohli's record as the right-handed batsman for Royal Challengers Bangalore this season in a short match. Butler has achieved a great deal in the match against KKR.
Captain Tim Southee dismissed Butler after he scored 22 runs off 25 balls. Butler didn't appear to be aiming to score goals on a regular basis, according to the captain.
Butler has scored 588 runs in 10 games this season when he is in top form. He also became the player with the most goals in the IPL's first ten games. Kohli had previously held the record, scoring 568 runs in his first ten IPL outings in 2016.
So, despite the fact that Butler was expelled and Rajasthan still lost, Butler has had an incredible season. He now has a 65.33 average point total and a 150.77 attack rate. This season, Butler has also been able to register three centuries and three-half centuries in the IPL.
