IPL 2025 Auction: Five Teams That Can Target Jos Buttler in IPL Mega Auction

1. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)

Jos Buttler is a T20 specialist and an attacking top-order batsman. He can give a blistering start to the team. RCB, who is looking for an explosive opener to partner with skipper Virat Kohli could very well be in the race to buy him.

2. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

KKR's middle-order collapsed multiple times even when they started off well in the previous editions. Thus, they would look for a stable batsman at the top order. Jos Buttler fits perfectly in that role.

3. Punjab Kings (PBKS)

Buttler has been in tremendous form since the start of the year 2023, He smashed a match-winning century against India in the third ODI. Punjab have been struggling with their opening pair for a long time now.

4. Chennai Super Kings (CSK)

After a disappointing campaign in IPL 2023, CSK should release some of their underperforming players and buy some young guns. Jos Buttler has always performed well against spin, something that has troubled CSK over the years. So, he could be on their radar.

5. Delhi Capitals (DC)

DC had a good run in IPL 2023, but they lacked a genuine match-winner at the top order. Rishabh Pant had an average season in IPL 2023 and Prithvi Shaw's form has also been a concern. So, Delhi Capitals might bid for Jos Buttler in the IPL 2025 auction.

6. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

SRH has the purse space and they always go for the big names in the auction. They have already appointed Aiden Markram as their captain but they would need a solid opening partner for him. Jos Buttler will fit that role perfectly.
