RR: the team with the best white-ball batsman and bowler in IPL 2022

When the stakes are high, champions step up! That is precisely what Jos Buttler did in Ahmedabad for the Rajasthan Royals. With a spectacular tonne, his fourth of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League, he lit up Narendra Modi stadium with his outstanding hitting ability. He played with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) bowlers to carry his team home in the 158-run chase (IPL). RR will now play Gujarat Titans in the season finale at the same stadium, while RCB had another "what could have been the case" season.

Rajasthan Royals is a team full of match winners with different match-winners in each match. Along with Jos, the boss, even Yuzvendra Chahal, has left no stone unturned as he's second on the list of the purple cap. The Indian spinner will end with a purple cap if he successfully takes one wicket today against Gujarat Titans, which does not seem a big deal considering his current form. The bowler has been key to success in this season of IPL. He has taken crucial wickets in almost every game with a reasonable rate.

Without any further ado, let's have a look at the best white ballplayers who are also a part of RR in detail:

• Yuzvendra Chahal

The Indian spinner has been phenomenal for Rajasthan Royals in this season of IPL with many match-winning performances. Also, he has a five-wicket haul to his name in which he also succeeded in taking a hat trick.

Without any doubt, he's the best white-ball bowler currently as he bowls with tactics and plays with a batsman's mind. Due to this, the mind manipulating bowler has 26 wickets in 16 matches this season, which is impressive considering an economy of 7.9. He has shown what he's capable of this season, and we could expect a similar performance from him in the final as he's in the form of life and found his long-lost rhythm back. 

Due to his performance in IPL, he's back on India's national team and will for sure play in the world Cup held in Australia later this year.

• Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler, the England opener, is in a dream form and has continued his wrath since the 2019 world cup. The opener is the best white-ball batsman currently, considering the variety of shots he plays and how he plays it.

It's very pleasing for eyes to watch him bat because he has a shot at every direction of the ground and can easily play all of them. Jos has, without any doubt, been the best player for Rajasthan Royals since the day he joined. But in this season of IPL, he has been in an unbelievable form as he has four centuries next to his name, which is the joint highest ever. When he gets going, the England opener is unstoppable, and even the world's best bowlers struggle against this legend. In this season of IPL, Buttler has 824 runs in 16 matches with a strike rate of 152. He has been consistent in white-ball cricket, be it ODI or T20, and we are seeing a glimpse of the same in this season of IPL. He will be a crucial player for Rajasthan in their final match today against Gujarat as he's their opener and the team's success highly depend on him. A massive inning similar to the one played against Royal Challengers Bangalore by Buttler is all the Rajasthan-based franchise needs in the season's final, and their fans are expecting from the opener.

Rajasthan Royals are blessed to have both the best batsman and bowler of white-ball cricket in their franchise as it makes the work easy for Sanju Samson, the skipper of RR, and removes pressure from the RR management team.
