Jos Buttler will be facing his former team, Rajasthan Royals, when they take on Gujarat Titans on Wednesday night. The Royals’ decision to release Buttler in the last auction came as a surprise, considering his impressive record of seven centuries in as many IPL seasons for them. Despite being dismissed for a duck in the previous match, Buttler has been in good form for the Titans with scores of 54, 39, and 73 not out.
However, Buttler is just one of the concerns for the Royals as they face a strong Titans team who have won their last three matches. Mohammed Siraj and R. Sai Kishore have been in great form with the ball, while Shubman Gill and B. Sai Sudharsan have been impressive with the bat. Washington Sundar and Sherfane Rutherford have also been key contributors for the Titans.
The Royals will have to put in a strong performance with the ball on a track that has favored the batsmen. Jofra Archer’s return to form will be a boost for the Royals, who have also won their last two matches after a slow start to the season. Yashasvi Jaiswal’s return to form is timely and will ease the pressure on skipper Sanju Samson.
Overall, it promises to be an exciting match between two in-form teams with plenty of talent on display. Buttler will be looking to continue his good run of form against his former team, while the Royals will be hoping to continue their winning streak.
