Jos Buttler Emulates Salman Khan in Rajasthan Royals’ IPL 2024 Campaign Kickoff

As the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) latest season looms on the horizon, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) have amped up the excitement with a bold teaser. In a striking video released by the franchise, English cricket star and Rajasthan Royals’ destructive opener Jos Buttler made a grand entrance into the team camp, channeling the larger-than-life persona of Bollywood heavyweight Salman Khan. Mimicking the swagger and catchy lines of Khan’s character in the blockbuster movie ‘Wanted’, Buttler’s cinematic arrival has electrified fans and ushered in a wave of anticipation for the IPL 2024.

Jos Buttler is not new to headlining acts. He played an instrumental role in spearheading the Royals’ valiant run to the IPL final in 2022. His formidable partnership with young prodigy Yashasvi Jaiswal at the top of the order has been a cornerstone of the RR batting prowess. As Buttler rejoins the ranks, expectations are soaring for a repeat—or better—of their previous performances, cheering for those explosive starts that have become a hallmark of the Buttler-Jaiswal duo.

RR’s build up

The Rajasthan Royals, captained by the talented Sanju Samson, are gearing up to launch their IPL 2024 journey with fireworks, designated to go head-to-head with Lucknow Super Giants on March 24th in Jaipur. It’s a match that promises to set the tone for the Royals’ campaign, and with Buttler’s dramatic entry as a prelude, the stage is set for a compelling competition.

In related news, a notable performance that’s drawn recent attention occurred during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024 final, where Imad Wasim delivered a masterclass for Islamabad United against Multan Sultans. Wasim, however, also caught the eye off the field during the PSL final when he was unexpectedly caught on live TV taking a smoking break. This off-field moment garnered its own spotlight amidst the cricketing action.

Reminiscences of IPL thrillers creep in as fans anticipate the new season. The memory of Virat Kohli captaining Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) nail-bitingly close encounter against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2016 final lingers as a benchmark for drama and excitement. With the new season poised to begin, teams and their legions of supporters are ready to create new moments that will echo through cricketing folklore.

The Rajasthan Royals and their fans are looking to Jos Buttler to blend Bollywood drama with exceptional cricketing skill—a combination that could well lead to the ultimate prize in T20 cricket. The stage is set, the players are ready, and the countdown has begun. Will Buttler’s “Salman-esque” flair translate into another bountiful season for the Royals? Only time will tell.
