[Watch] "Where is Yuzi" - Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler's initial words after arriving in India ahead of IPL 2023

Star Rajasthan Royals (RR) opener Jos Buttler has joined his team's camp in Jaipur to commence preparations ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season.

Buttler enjoyed a stellar season with the bat last year as he won the orange cap after finishing as the leading run-scorer. Across 17 matches, he amassed 863 runs at an average of 57.53 and a strike rate of 149.05.

His staggering batting form was one of the primary reasons behind the Rajasthan Royals' successful campaign in IPL 2022. They ended up as runner-ups, with Gujarat Titans edging them out in the final.

After a fruitful 2022 campaign, the Buttler-led England side won the T20 World Cup in Australia. RR management will be hoping that he will once again be at his best and lead the way with the bat in the top order.

The Rajasthan franchise informed their fans about Buttler's arrival in team camp by sharing a video on their official Instagram handle. In it, Buttler also sent a message to his teammate Yuzvendra Chahal.

RR captioned the video:

"Jos is here and so are his three magic words 😂"
