IPL 2018: 5 underrated players who can be potential match winners for their franchises

#3 Jos Buttler (Rajasthan Royals)

Buttler represented the Mumbai Indians in 2017

English wicketkeeper Jos Buttler has been phenomenal for England in recent times. His finishing abilities have made him a must-have for the English side. Buttler is an underrated IPL player. He has scored 527 IPL runs at an average of 25.09. His strike rate of 145.98 is the most impressive thing about him.

Buttler was procured by the Rajasthan Royals in this year's auction. With the availability of openers in the form of Rahane and D'Arcy Short, the Royals management may decide to persist with Buttler as a finisher. The flamboyant batsman can turn out to be a match winner for the Royals alongside his England partner Ben Stokes.

Out of his 527 IPL runs, 386 have come in boundaries. His boundary percentage is a threat to other oppositions. The wicketkeeper-batsman will look to better his record in this year's edition.
