The ex-MI player returns to Mumbai tonight after having made telling contributions in each of RR’s last three games and Jos Buttler’s last knock (95 not out) ranks among the finest innings in this year’s IPL. He would definitely like to get on over his ex-employers and considering the sort of form he is in, it is definitely a possibility. His elevation to the opener’s slot has proven to be a masterstroke and he is now RR’s top run-scorer with an aggregate of 411 runs.

He has the ability to change the complexion of a game within a matter of overs and the Englishman is particularly dangerous in the Powerplays. However, tonight he will come up against one of the world’s finest bowlers in MI’s Jasprit Bumrah and that is going to be a battle that will have a big impact on the game. The fast bowler has taken12 wickets so far but it is his economy rate of 6.83 that is most impressive. Whoever comes out on top in this battle is probably going to end up on the winning side.
