Jos Buttler admits 'it was a bit strange' playing against RR, drove him further to perform well for GT

It was admittedly "strange" for Jos Buttler not to be in the pink of the Rajasthan Royals after being with the franchise for seven seasons. Buttler, who had never played against his former team in the IPL, was up against some familiar faces on Wednesday night and mentioned that he was desperate to perform and get the win for the Gujarat Titans. The Royals, who chose to release Buttler before the IPL 2025 auction, had a poor day in the field and the bat and the latter was the winner and the grinner as the Titans notched up their fourth win on the trot.
