Jos Buttler is a legend – Yashasvi Jaiswal lauds RR opener after IPL 2022 performance

 

Rajasthan Royals youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal heaped praise on Jos Buttler after the England batter came up with a fine performance in Tata IPL 2022. Buttler went on to score 863 runs in 17 matches of the tournament at an average of 57.53 and a blistering strike rate of 149.05. Thus, the England batter ticked all the right boxes throughout the season as he batted at a very high level.

Jaiswal also had the pleasure of opening the innings with Buttler in the first few matches. However, the southpaw could not grab his opportunity with both hands as he returned with scores of 20, 4, and 1 in the first three matches he played. Subsequently, the team’s think tank decided to drop him and Devdutt Padikkal was promoted as an opener.

After missing a few matches, the left-hander made a roaring comeback as he scored a fine knock of 68 runs off just 41 balls against Punjab Kings. Jaiswal went on score 258 runs at a strike rate of 132.99 in 10 matches he played at an average of 25.80 in IPL 2022.

Yashasvi Jaiswal said while talking to the Times of India, “Jos Buttler is a legend. He is an amazing person. He is a very good human being. I have played a number of games of chess against him and won on all occasions. He is our star batsman. It is fun to bat with him, share the dressing room with him and talk to him. He knows how to handle pressure. He makes batting look so easy.”

Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals had a good season as they qualified for the finals of the tournament but they could not cross the final hurdle against Gujarat Titans. Jaiswal added that he wants to see Rajasthan Royals win the title next season.

“There is something we say at RR that we have to improve and learn every day. And we will focus on the process, we will work hard and we will take brave decisions and the result will come automatically. And I want to see RR win the title next season. We played amazing cricket this season.”

The left-hander believes his team will come back even stronger in the next season of the IPL.

“We fell short of winning the title but I believe this team will come back stronger next season. This team is very strong. All I want to do personally is to win matches for my team.”

Meanwhile, Jaiswal is in fine form as he scored twin hundreds in the Ranji Trophy semifinal against Uttar Pradesh. Mumbai will face Madhya Pradesh in the final on June 22 at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.
