Live Cricket News: The Rajasthan Royals have had a solid start to the 2022 Indian Premier League season, sitting third in the table after four wins in six games. The Royals, led by Sanju Samson, have been riding high in the tournament because of fantastic contributions from opener Jos Buttler (current Orange Cap holder with 376 runs) and leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal (current Purple Cap holder with 17 wickets).
Buttler, in particular, has been in superb form since the start of the season, smashing two hundred in his first six matches. Buttler’s retention by the Royals was described as a “no-brainer” decision by Michael Vaughan, who also called him the “greatest T20 player in the world” in a video for ESPNCricinfo.
“Jos Buttler, the best T20 player in the world. It’s a no-brainer. Soon as you get the chance to retain someone like Buttler, you do it. You stick him to the top of the order, and you watch him flourish. His form, expertise, power, skills are just getting better and better,” said Vaughan.
In addition, the former England captain indicated that he does not expect Buttler to play for the national side again, but that the wicketkeeper-batter may lead the English squad in the shortest version of the game.
“I don’t see him playing Test cricket anymore. I think he’s just going to be a white-ball specialist. And I still think he can improve. He will be the England captain in the T20s; I don’t think it could be too far away. If not for this World Cup, definitely for the next one. He’s that sort of a cricketer,” said Vaughan.
The Royals are back in action on Friday when they face the Delhi Capitals in their seventh encounter of the season.
