Mumbai, April 10: After Gujarat Titans슬롯사이트� (GT) secured a clinical 58-run win over Rajasthan Royals (RR) in IPL 2025, wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler admitted it felt strange for him to play against his former team, Rajasthan Royals.

"It did feel a bit strange being on the other side against Rajasthan Royals. But to be honest, I was even more desperate for the win today. I think it was an excellent team performance. I슬롯사이트m really enjoying the new challenge. I슬롯사이트ve been batting at No. 3 for England recently, so it슬롯사이트s not unfamiliar. It helps that I슬롯사이트m coming in behind two fantastic openers who usually lay a strong platform. If there슬롯사이트s any swing, they deal with it, and I get to walk in once the ball stops moving, which is quite nice," said Buttler to JioHotstar.

Varun Aaron, the former India fast-bowler, said he was left in awe of Sudharsan슬롯사이트s majestic 82. "He has absolute role clarity and puts in a tremendous amount of hard work. I know for a fact that Sai is very committed, both on and off the field. That dedication is showing now. The way he played today was exceptional.

Mark Boucher, the former South Africa player who coached Mumbai Indians, felt GT are being aided by different players stepping up for them in various situations. "They슬롯사이트re batting really well, and their bowling unit is functioning cohesively too. Interestingly, they didn슬롯사이트t quite threaten with back-to-back performances earlier, but they슬롯사이트ve done the job well in the pool.

슬롯사이트What stands out is how different players are stepping up in different games. They슬롯사이트ll take a lot of confidence from Rashid Khan picking up two wickets, he슬롯사이트s clearly at his best. Overall, a lot of positives for them. It was a tough game, but they슬롯사이트ve managed to stay strong on the points table."

Aaron also agreed with Boucher슬롯사이트s perspective on GT, saying, "Gujarat Titans are showing what a complete team looks like. They슬롯사이트ve really invested in young talent. Take Shahrukh Khan, for instance슬롯사이트despite not getting runs over the past couple of seasons, the team has kept faith in him and given him a clearly defined role."

"Rahul Tewatia continues to be a reliable contributor, playing his role year after year. In the bowling department, Arshad슬롯사이트s knack for picking up key wickets adds to their strength. Everyone슬롯사이트s chipping in, and that슬롯사이트s the hallmark of a healthy, well-rounded team, not just depending on one or two stars," he concluded.
