Jos Buttler became the ninth batter in the history of cricket to get past the ten thousand run mark in the T20 format on Friday

His knock of 83 (36) allowed Lancashire Lightning to clinch two crucial points 

Jos Buttler struck six sixes in his innings

He and his team-mate Liam Livingstone orchestrated a fruitful second-wicket partnership of 101 runs in just 41 balls

Their feat becomes more impressive as the game was delayed for approximately by 80 minutes due to the intervention of rain

Buttler’s knock came to an end as he was caught by Leus du Plooy in Zaman Khan’s over

Even though he fell short by 17 runs from his century, still he walked back to the pavilion by becoming only the ninth player to hit 10,000 T20 runs

He has joined the elite list which includes former West Indies opener Chris Gayle who sits at the helm of the list with 14,562 runs in T20 cricket
