Buttler, meanwhile, continued the onslaught and was later, helped on, by captain Sanju Samson (46 not out) who made his intentions clear from the word go as he smashed five boundaries and three sixes in his unbeaten 19-ball cameo and batted at an astonishing strike rate of 242.11.
The Englishman, on the other hand, hit nine boundaries and as many sixes in his 65-ball knock.
