India Today
IPL 2022: Rajasthan Royals star Jos Buttler thinks Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal are the best spinners in the world.
Rajasthan Royals star wicket keeper Jos Buttler is back to the Pink dug-out for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 after missing out in the second half of last year as he was blessed with a child in his family.
The England international ended the Ashes with a broken finger and has been out of action for a few months. Speaking about his team, Rajasthan Royals, the 31-year-old is very excited and is looking forward to getting back on the field.
"It's a really exciting time for the team, you know, to start a new cycle and build a new team. The aim here is to win the IPL, and I can't wait to contribute to that," Buttler said in an RR release.
"We are delighted to have so many great players in the squad. Obviously, (Ravichandran) Ashwin and (Yuzvendra) Chahal are two of the best spinners in the world, and with a great pace attack, I think it's really exciting.
"Then we've got a strong batting line-up, along with great all-round options, so I think it's going to be a really exciting IPL for us," he added.
Buttler said he was "quite flattered" after he was retained by RR.
Ashwin mankaded Buttler in the IPL back in 2019 when he played for Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings). Buttler became the first batsman to be mankaded in the competition. The England international was also mankaded by Sri Lankan bowler Sachithra Senanayake in 2014 during the ODI series between the two.
