IPL | Rajasthan Royals will look to rumble again after years of heartbreak
The Hindu
Rajasthan Royals face challenges without Jos Buttler, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Trent Boult, but look to new coach Rahul Dravid for success.
Imagine Jaipur without the Amber Fort.
Imagining Rajasthan Royals without Jos Buttler is just about as difficult. The white-ball master from England has been like a resolute, intimidating fort at the top of the order for Royals for the last seven years.
Tough decision
Captain Sanju Samson has said the decision to let Buttler go was not easy. It never can be, to relieve someone with 3,055 runs and seven hundreds, from 83 games, at an average of 41.84 and a strike rate of 147.79.
Yuzvendra Chahal and Trent Boult, who took 34 wickets between them last year, won’t be there, either.
In the absence of the talented trio, it will indeed be interesting to see how the new coach Rahul Dravid rejigs the eleven, as he takes over Kumar Sangakkara.
