Shane Warne and Jos Buttler
As Rajasthan Royals made it to the finals of the 15th edition of IPL, their star batsman Jos Buttler got emotional while speaking about late Shane Warne who was the ‘first Royal’, ahead of RR’s match against Gujarat Titans.
Whenever there has been a talk aboutthe lengendary spinner Shane Warne, RR players have got emotional. Shane Warne had recently died, at the age of 52 to suspected of heart attack. This whole season has been a tribute to Shane Warne under whom Rajasthan Royals won their first trophy in the inaugural season in 2008. If Rajasthan Royals win this match they will, it will be for Shane Warne.
Ahead of the match, Orange Cap holder Jos Buttler got really emotional when he was talking about Royal’s ex-captain. He broke into tears and his picture is going viral all over the internet.
Shane Warne was the first ‘royal’, Jos Buttler is ‘reigning royal’, says Sanjay Manjrekar
Ahead of RR vs GT finals, former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar believes that while lengendary Shane Warne was the first ‘royal’, Jos Buttler is the ‘reigning royal’ after the English player scored an unbeaten 106 off 60 balls to guide Rajasthan Royals to their second ever IPL final.
Buttler has scored 824 runs so far at an average of almost 59 and a strike rate of 151.47 with four century in a season, equaling Virat Kohli’s number of centuries in a season. He is also the highest run-getter in IPL 2022 and is placed third on the all-time scorer’s lost in a single season, just behind David Warner by 25 runs. Virat Kohli tops the list with 973 runs in a season (2016) and Buttler will need 150 runs to go past the lengendary Indian batter.
“My reading watching that entire (Buttler) innings was that he was actually, because he felt that he was one of the key players and the target wasn’t huge, playing a slightly responsible innings, and it was that kind of an innings (vs RCB in Qualifier 2) where I’ve tweeted after a long time saying where you play to the merit of the ball that kind of an innings and he’s got a 106 off just 60 balls,” Sanjay Manjrekar said.
“That (Mohd) Siraj pick up shot or, you know, Shahbaz Ahmed, the moment he was in his slot, (Buttler) hit him for a six. So, the approach was ‘Ok, I’m gonna look for the loose balls’ and he ended up playing this kind of an innings. So, you can have that approach, you can have that attitude, but finally you must have those skills and the ability, and we are blessed to have seen this kind of an innings. Shane Warne was the first ‘royal’; this one is the ‘reigning royal’,” Manjrekar added.
