The idea to promote Jos Buttler as an opener has worked out well for the Rajasthan Royals. His form from last year continued this year as well. He was striking the ball freely and with a lot of intent. He was their standout batsman at the top of the order. When other players like Ajinkya Rahane and Steve Smith were struggling to find form at the start of the tournament, he held the team together with his batting performances.

In 8 matches he played this year, Butler scored 311 runs at an average of 38.87. He also scored three half-centuries. Sadly, his performances weren’t good enough to get Rajasthan Royals into the playoffs. Butler had to leave the tournament mid way which dented RR’s chances even further.

Going forward, the English batsman will have a huge role to play for RR in the next few seasons of the cash rich league.
