The 29-year old has been a constant performer for the Rajasthan Royals in the last two seasons. His promotion to the top-order in IPL 2019 changed fortunes for the franchise as he ended up creating a match-winning impact in most of the games. Buttler's prolific run-scoring in the latter part of the 2018 season even guided Rajasthan to the playoffs.

In the upcoming season, it is possible that the 29-year-old might be trusted with the captain's role after being with the franchise for more than two years now. He is also the vice-captain for England in the limited-overs format and thus, his handy experience could come into play if given the responsibility to lead the side.
