The stage is set for an exciting clash between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the ongoing IPL on 16 April 2023. This match will be a repeat of the last edition's final, and all eyes will be on players like Jos Buttler, who has been in great form this season as well. Buttler has already scored 204 runs in four matches, with an impressive average of 51.
In preparation for the upcoming game, RR players were seen practicing at the Narendra Modi Stadium, where Buttler had a heartwarming interaction with a young girl who appeared to be his avid fan. The English cricketer was seen giving her autograph, chatting with her, and taking pictures. RR shared the video on their social media accounts, and fans were quick to express their admiration for Buttler's kind gesture.

“His presence brings a lot of positive energy to the team,” commented RR skipper, Sanju Samson, in praise of Buttler. RR has had a promising start to this year's campaign with three wins and one loss in the first four games. In their season opener against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Buttler smashed 54 runs off 22 balls, including seven fours and three sixes, and won the Player of the Match award for his blistering knock.
Samson further highlighted Buttler's importance to the team, saying, “You can see the way Yashasvi Jaiswal is batting this season. It has to rub on to the youngsters, and his role, like everyone’s, is equally important. He looks a little bit of a serious kind of a guy, but he has a lot of fun on the inside, in the dressing room as well as in the (team) bus. He likes to talk to people and people are learning a lot (from him).”
Buttler's phenomenal performance in the last edition of the tournament, where he was the highest run-scorer, has raised the hopes of RR fans for another great season from him. His contribution to the team's positive energy and his willingness to mentor young players are qualities that make him an invaluable asset to the team.
The upcoming match between GT and RR promises to be an exciting one, with Buttler's form and presence adding to the anticipation. His kindness towards his fans and commitment to his team make him not only a great cricketer but also a role model for young players.
Here's how Twitter reacted to Jos Buttler meeting a young fan:

Surprising to see Buttler so nervous. I can understand the girl being nervous though when you meet your favorite player.
