This is a massive win for @rajasthanroyals .They can attribute this wonderful turnaround to Jos Buttler, who ever since he has opened has made RR look a different side altogether. Feel very happy for @ajinkyarahane88 #MIvRR

Rayudu, Suryakumar, Buttler…asked to open and they’ve come to their own. Their former teams didn’t view them as regular openers… #MIvRR #IPL

Jos Butler played amazingly well again.
Not the first time in our history that British helped the Royals which eventually led to the defeat of Indians.#MIvRR
