With the Rajasthan Royals (RR) opener, Jos Buttler dominating with the bat in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, the Royals aren’t short of firepower as Devdutt Padikkal and Sanju Samson are doing well for the team as well.

He is the main man today, and you know that still gives me goosebumps whenever I think about it.”
