IPL 2019: 5 Innovative Batsmen and 5 Spinners who can keep a check on them

#2 Batsman: Jos Buttler (RR) | Bowler: Mujeeb Ur Rahman (KXIP)

Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Jos Buttler set the league on fire last season with his five consecutive half-centuries after being promoted as an opener and propelled the Royals into the playoffs. Buttler is one of the best finishers in the world excels in his No.5 or 6 spot for England on the international stage. He is a great innovators and plays all kinds of shots and uses them to good effect too.

Buttler can play these shots in any situation and against any type of bowler. He plays a variety of shots like reverse sweep, switch hit, scoop and other shots all around the ground.

Mujeeb is the latest entry to the list of mystery spinners and even outfoxed Virat Kohli with a googly which spun miles to beat his cover drive and bowl him. He primarily is a leg-spinner who spins the ball with his fingers rather than with the wrist and has various types of releases which confuse the batsmen.

Mujeeb got the better of Buttler once last time out, while Buttler smashed the leggie in another encounter. We will get an opportunity to witness this clash on March 25 when Punjab visit Jaipur. However, it remains to be seen if Mujeeb will be a part of that encounter.
