Jos Buttler – England’s wicketkeeper-batsman, Jos Buttler, may not be one of the contenders for the job but his international experience will keep him ahead of Samson and Tripathi.
Should the franchise think of not putting pressure on Rahane, Buttler can always pick up the charge of the team.
He possesses a strike-rate of 142.80 in 213 T20 matches he has played and is a proven player.
On the other hand, the pressure of captaincy can come down on Samson and Tripathi, which the franchise would not like.
Buttler, who has played 18 Tests, 109 ODIs and 61 T20Is, was purchased by the franchise for an amount of Rs 4.40 Crore.
