IPL 2026: Jos Buttler scripts history, enters elite six-hitting club
Jos Buttler achieved a significant milestone, hitting his 600th six in T20 cricket. He joined an elite group of players with this achievement. Gujarat Titans secured a thrilling one-run victory over Delhi Capitals.
KL Rahul's strong performance for Delhi was not enough to secure the win. The match saw impressive batting displays from both sides.
Gujarat Titans’ Jos Buttler reached a landmark in the IPL against Delhi Capitals, hitting his 600th six in T20 cricket. The England star became the fifth batter 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 featured 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, only behind Suresh Raina’s famous 87 off 25 balls, which included six sixes, against PBKS in the 2014 Qualifier 2 at Wankhede. This innings also ended Buttler’s 16-match wait for a T20 fifty, his last coming for Durban Super Giants against Pretoria Capitals in the 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.
