We are finally going to witness the very last league stage game of IPL 2024. At first, we have an amazing match between SRH and PBKS. In the evening, the Rajasthan Royals are preparing to face off against the Kolkata Knight Riders at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. A significant change has occurred for the Royals before this match—Jos Buttler will not be participating. This article will delve into the details behind Buttler’s absence, shedding light on the circumstances leading to this decision. Find out why Jos Buttler is missing from today’s IPL 2024 clash against KKR.
Jos Buttler Misses Out:
Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson announced that star player Jos Buttler will not be participating in today’s game against the Kolkata Knight Riders. As the IPL season draws to a close and the T20 World Cup approaches, players are set to return to their home countries to prepare for international duties. Jos Buttler has already left for England to fulfill his national team commitments ahead of the World Cup, marking his absence in this crucial IPL match.
England is scheduled to play a T20I series against Pakistan right before the World Cup, necessitating Jos Buttler’s participation. Therefore, he will miss the rest of the IPL matches to concentrate on his duties with the England squad. This decision underscores the delicate balance players must maintain between league commitments and national team responsibilities, especially as significant tournaments draw near.
Toss Update:
KKR, captained by Shreyas Iyer, has decided to bowl first after winning the toss in a seven-over match against Sanju Samson’s RR. This game is taking place at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. The shortened format adds extra excitement as both teams gear up for a rapid and intense contest.
RR captain Sanju Samson said,” Would have bowled first too. Last pitch was a lot drier, this one has a bit more moisture so we wanted to bowl as well. We made last minute changes. I think Nandre Burger might come in and rest is the same.”
RR XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Sanju Samson(w/c), Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Rovman Powell, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Sandeep Sharma, Avesh Khan, Nandre Burger
