Buttler proves to be a bargain buy

Said it just after the auction .. and I will say it again .. @josbuttler was the best value for money signing of the #IPL .. How @mipaltan didn’t retain him is beyond me !!! #OnOn #India

IPL has a new set of opening batsmen

Rayudu, Suryakumar, Buttler...asked to open and they’ve come to their own. Their former teams didn’t view them as regular openers... #MIvRR #IPL

Buttler has sparked a turnaround

This is a massive win for @rajasthanroyals .They can attribute this wonderful turnaround to Jos Buttler, who ever since he has opened has made RR look a different side altogether. Feel very happy for @ajinkyarahane88 #MIvRR

Mumbai Indians are definitely regretting

People still justify RTM’ing Pollard instead of Buttler. Learn from RCB. They retain Sarfaraz and RTM Negi and they aren’t even worth playing in the XI anymore. Don’t justify, just cry.

Jos Buttler at the top has changed RR's season

A single decision has turned around RR’s IPL campaign: Jos Buttler has reeled off five successive half centuries after being promoted to open.
