One of only five overseas players to score over 4000 runs in the TATA IPL, Jos Buttler is widely regarded as one of the most reliable match-winners in the league’s history. Across 10 seasons, Buttler has combined explosiveness with consistency, evolving into a premier top-order force. He began his journey with Mumbai Indians in 2016, winning a title in 2017, before carving out his legacy during a seven-year stint with Rajasthan Royals. His breakthrough IPL season came in 2018, when he registered five consecutive 50-plus scores — only the second player to achieve the feat after Virender Sehwag. In 2022, he scaled even greater heights, equalling Virat Kohli’s record for most hundreds in a single season (4) and finishing as the tournament’s leading run-scorer. Buttler has been central to England’s white-ball resurgence over the past decade and led them to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup title in 2022. His pedigree and proven match-winning ability earned him an INR 15.75 Crore deal with Gujarat Titans at the 2025 Mega Auction, the highest for an overseas player that year. Buttler repaid that faith with 538 runs in his debut season and remains pivotal to GT’s top order heading into IPL 2026.
