Buttler, 31, had emerged as the highest run-getter in IPL-15, scoring 863 runs for Rajasthan Royals as they made it to the final against Gujarat Titans recently.

“The IPL couldn’t have gone better for me, coming here in good touch, good wicket, licence to attack. The World T20 went well, the Ashes was tough, I had two months of no cricket, very refreshing, turned up to the IPL with lots of motivation, energy and drive to get the best out of yourself,” said Buttler after the win.
