However, he praised his middle order, saying, \u201cThe way Jitesh, Liam, and Tim batted after the early collapse was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite RCB\u2019s fighting effort, Buttler\u2019s composed knock ensured Gujarat\u2019s second successive win, cementing their strong start in the tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bengaluru: Jos Buttler\u2019s unbeaten 73 and Mohammed Siraj\u2019s superb 3-19 spell powered Gujarat Titans to a dominant eight-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL on Wednesday.
