Jos Buttler named this Indian as his dream opening partner from the current era

Jos Buttler has been the best player for the Rajasthan team this season. The Englishman has scored three centuries in the season already. His first century came against Mumbai. He then smashed a ton against Kolkata. His latest century came against Delhi on Friday.

Buttler has scored 491 runs in the seven games and currently holds the orange cap. He scored 35, 100, 70, 13, 54, 103, and 116 runs for Rajasthan in the seven games. The opener has now revealed the two names that are his dream opening partners. Buttler chose Vivian Richards from the past and Indian captain Rohit Sharma from the present players.

"From the past, it would be Vivian Richards. I would love to see him play T20 cricket. From the current, Rohit Sharma," Buttler said on ESPNcricinfo's 'Polite Enquiries'.

When asked who he finds the most difficult to face in the powerplay, Buttler replied, "Rashid Khan. He has got my number at the minute."

Buttler also picked his favourite knock in the Indian T20 League. He said his knock against Mumbai in 2018 was his favourite one. "My best IPL innings was against Mumbai Indians in 2018 when I got 93, I think," said Buttler.

Meanwhile, Jos Buttler scored his last century against Delhi on Friday. He formed a brilliant partnership with Devdutt Padikkal to add 155 runs. This is the highest-ever opening stand for Rajasthan. Padikkal scored a half-century and Sanju Samson played a cameo of 46 runs to help the men in pink score 222 runs in the first innings.

In the chase, Delhi could not sustain partnerships as wickets kept falling for them. Towards the end, Prasidh Krishna bowled a maiden 19th over, leaving 36 runs for Delhi to get in the final over. Rovman Powell hit three sixes on the first three balls, but the momentum was broken due to a no-ball controversy. Powell, in the end, could not complete the game for Delhi and lost his wicket to Obed McCoy on the final delivery. Rajasthan won the match by 15 runs.
