Trent Boult is one of the most best pacers to have played for New Zealand. His ability to swing the ball both ways has turned him into a serious threat to the opposition. The pacer has featured for SRH and MI in the previous seasons of the IPL. In 2022, his first stint with the Royals turned out to be a special one. Alongside Prasidh Krishna, he formed one of the most lethal new-ball pairs of the season, he was brilliant in the Powerplay throughout the tournament. He ended the season with 16 wickets and also bowled 3 maidens. Rajasthan will definitely look to retain him, as he heads the bowling attack of the side.
Jos Buttler is arguably the best T20 batter going around at the moment, he is brilliant in the powerplay and can also play the long innings when required. Buttler was the highest run scorer of the last season and play a crucial role in the success of Rajasthan Royals. Picked by the Royals during the 2018 auction, Jos has been setting the pace and the benchmark in the IPL with his fiery performances. His best performance came earlier this year, when he struck four incredible hundreds and finished with 863 runs and won the orange cap. Jos has built a reputation for dismantling the strongest of bowling attacks with ease, and also played a crucial role for England during their 2022 World Cup-winning run.
