Big shock for RR after a hat-trick of defeats! Jos Buttler left IPL overnight
Rajasthan Royals suffered a major setback in IPL 2024. They already faced defeat in the last three matches consecutively and now Rajasthan Royals’ best player Jos Buttler will no longer participate in the remaining matches of IPL 2024.
T20 World Cup 2024 is to be played in the month of June and before that the England team has to play a T20 series against Pakistan. For this reason, the England Cricket Board (ECB) called their players back who are currently playing in the IPL. Jos Buttler, therefore, left India immediately and he will miss the remaining matches of the Indian Premier League 2024.
Rajasthan Royals shared a video on social media
Rajasthan Royals has shared the video of Jos Buttler on its official social media account, in which it can be seen that the English players are leaving their team and going back to their country.
While sharing the video of Jos Buttler, Rajasthan Royals wrote in its caption, ‘We will miss you Jos Bhai.’
Here’s the video:

Trouble for Rajasthan Royals
Jos Buttler is one of the most important players of Rajasthan Royals and his performance has always been very good in the Indian Premier League. This season too, Buttler batted very well and scored important centuries against Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Now that Jos Buttler left this season of IPL, Rajasthan Royals have to make changes in their playing order. Sanju Samson now might play the role of opener and we may see Shimron Hetmeyer in the playing XI. However, playoffs are not going to be easy for RR without Jos Buttler.

RR is showing good performance in IPL 2024 so far
The performance of Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League 2024 has been quite good. They have played 12 matches so far this season, out of which the team has won eight while they have faced defeat in four. The team has 16 points and is at the second position in the points table of the Indian Premier League 2024. Rajasthan Royals have to play their next match of IPL 2024 against Punjab Kings on May 15 and after that the team has to play its last league match against Kolkata Knight Riders on May 19.
If Rajasthan wants to secure the top place in the playoffs this season, then it is very important for them to win both these matches. Rajasthan Royals had to face defeat in their last three matches. Rajasthan Royals will definitely miss the absence of Jos Buttler in the upcoming matches. Not only this, now it will be very difficult for the team to decide who can open with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the upcoming match.
Currently, Rajasthan Royals will prepare for their upcoming match on 15th May. Jos Buttler also has hope that Rajasthan Royals will definitely win the Indian Premier League 2024 trophy. At the end of the video shared by RR, he said that the team must FaceTime him with the IPL 2024 trophy.
