Later, Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant was fined 100 per cent of his match fee for breaching the Indian Premier League (IPL) Code of Conduct.
Rajasthan Royals are on the top of the table with ten points from seven games now.
Buttler seems to be in the form for ages as the power-hitter scored 116 runs off just 65 deliveries with nine fours and as many maximums.
The match saw dramatic scenes unfold as a contentious claim by the umpire wasn't taken in the right spirit by Delhi Capitals and a member of their coaching staff also ran onto the field to argue the decision.
Later while speaking to the broadcaster, Pant said they were convinced it was a no ball and it wasn't even a close call.
What was special about this innings was that he seemed to struggle during the initial phase but once he got going, he never looked back and touched the triple figures in 57 balls.
While the bowler had erred by giving a full-length delivery outside the off stump, Buttler gave it a great smack and connected with the middle of the bat sending it into the top-tier of the stands over the midwicket fence.
Ponting himself has tested negative twice subsequently.
The match was set to be played at the MCA Stadium in Pune but has now been shifted to the Wankhede Stadium after Tim Seifert's positive COVID-19 test.
