Who will target Jos Buttler at IPL 2025 mega auction?
England captain Jos Buttler smashed a scorching 45-ball 83 in the second T20I to hand his team a 2-0 lead in the 5-match series against West Indies. So let’s take a look at Who will target Jos Buttler at IPL 2025 mega auction.
Buttler’s knock not only gave England an edge, but it also set the tone for this year’s IPL auction, in which he is participating.
Not to mention Buttler’s exploits in IPL. He remained a backbone for Rajasthan Royals for the past few years. He had a fantastic 2022 season, scoring a massive 863 in 17 innings and played a huge role in guiding the Royals to finals.
His form dipped slightly in 2023, when he scored 392, which is still good but falls short of his norms. He averaged 39.89 in IPL 2024 before leaving the league in between for national duty.
The Rajasthan Royals, who had already used their six retentions options prior to the auction, cannot use an RTM, but can still compete for his services, as the 34-year-old opening batter is still one of the best in the business.

Jos falls for a spectacular 83 off 45 balls.
