match highlights
Butler and Devdutt Padikkal put on a 155-run partnership for the opening wicket, helping RR to top the season’s team, 222 for two, after being sent out to bat.

Buttler, enjoying the form of his life, scored 116 off 65 balls with nine fours and several hits over the fence to lay the foundation for the total in the company of Padikkal, who hit 54 off 35 balls with seven fours. Scored runs. And two sixes.
It was a long task for DC as RR restricted them to 207 for eight.
Chasing an imposing total, DC got off to a brisk start with Prithvi Shaw (37) and David Warner (28) adding 43 runs in 4.3 overs to make a run for the latter. famous krishna delivery to skipper Sanju Samson behind the stump.
Shaw and Captain Rishabh Pant (44 off 24 balls) then added 51 runs off 29 balls for the second wicket and kept DC at the asking rate.
But just when it looked like the partnership was blossoming, R Ashwin struck a crucial blow in the form of set Shaw, who was dismissed on deep by Trent Boult as DC reached 99 for three after 10 overs.

Pant raised DC’s hopes in the 12th over before Padikkal was dismissed by Krishna in the 12th over.
Axar Patel (1) also failed with the bat, so Shardul Thakur (10) fought a lone fight before dying as Lalit Yadav (37 of 24).
Rovman Powell (36 off 15) struck some hard at the end to boost DC’s hopes.
With 36 needed in the last over, Powell smashed Obed McCoy for three consecutive sixes in the first three balls to lift DC’s hopes of an impossible victory, before the West Indies bowler put together an effort to take his side home. Work done.
But the win came after some play as the DC team argued with the on-field umpires, claiming a possible no-ball, but to no avail.
Earlier, Pant’s decision to field first took a turn for the worse as the pair of Butler and Padikkal scored 155 runs in 15.5 overs for the opening stand.

After scoring 50 runs in 6.5 overs, both opened. Buttler started slowly before picking up the pace and hit mostly fours and sixes to complete his fifty in 36 balls against the DC spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel.
It was raining fours and sixes for both Butler and Padikkal as both the batsmen played with confidence to deny the DC bowlers success.
Buttler looked in ominous form and was particularly serious on Yadav, hitting the off-spinner for two sixes and a four to take 18 runs from the 13th over.
DC’s spin attack cut a sorry figure as Axar and Kuldeep also leaked runs with Butler and Padikkal’s hammer and tongs.
Padikkal completed his fifty with a boundary off 31 balls, cutting Akshar behind the square on the off side.

Confident after two centuries in the ongoing edition of the IPL, Buttler continued his attack, smashing Kuldeep Yadav for two boundaries in successive deliveries and a boundary in the 15th over.
The power-hitting was at its best as Buttler in particular dealt with all the DC bowlers with disdain.
Padikkal died soon after, being caught plumb in front of the wicket by Khaleel Ahmed in the 116th over as DC got their first breakthrough, albeit late in the innings.
Buttler was eventually dismissed by Mustafizur Rahman to David Warner at long on.
In the end, skipper Sanju Samson (46 not out from 19 balls) played a little cameo to help RR cross the 200-run mark and register the highest score of the season.
