Aakash Chopra hails Jos Buttler’s knock in GT’s IPL 2025 win vs RCB

Former Indian Test opener Aakash Chopra lauded Jos Buttler after Gujarat Titans secured a comprehensive eight-wicket win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Wednesday.

Chasing an under par score of 170 runs for the win, Buttler scored a match-winning knock of 73 runs off just 39 balls with the help of five fours and six sixes. The English batter scored his runs at an impressive strike rate of 187.18 as he batted at the top of his game. 

He played an instrumental role in his team’s win with 13 balls to spare as he took the attack against the opposition towards the fag end.

“Jos Buttler – the guy is different. He bats at a different level while chasing, stays till the end, and finishes the game by hitting. He took down the spinners, whether it was Krunal Pandya or Liam Livingstone. He even destroyed Josh Hazlewood later and won the match,” Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube Channel.

On the other hand, GT opener Sai Sudharsan continued his rich form, scoring 49 runs off 36 balls with the help of seven fours and one six. The left-hander has aggregated 186 runs in three matches and he is currently the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament.

“Sai Sudharsan with the bat – Sai hai to sab sahi hai (Everything is fine if Sai is there). Sai is flying high. He batted extremely well. He missed his fifty for sure but paced his innings very well, and that’s what he does. He has got the batting,” Chopra added.

Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill was dismissed for a run-a-ball 14 and Chopra shared his disappointment after the right-hander once again could not convert his start.

“Shubman Gill – it seems like he is in form and is batting well, but he is missing out way too often. It’s been three matches, he was looking decent in all three, but then he gets out. Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar) picked up a wicket,” he observed.

Gujarat Titans will next take on Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad on Sunday.
