A special country going through a very difficult time: Jos Buttler pens down emotional note for India
Ace English cricketer Jos Buttler who represented Rajasthan Royals in the IPL this year penned an emotional note for Indians after returning home to the United Kingdom on Wednesday. The IPL has been indefinitely suspended due to the raging aggression of Covid-19 in India. Buttler said that “India is a special country going through a very difficult time.” Buttler posted the message on the micro-blogging site along with a series of images featuring his wife, kid, and his Rajasthan Royals teammates.
BCCI’s decision came after the members of four IPL teams – Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), and Delhi Capitals – tested positive for novel coronavirus.
Buttler along with seven other England cricketers, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Sam Billings, Chris Woakes, Moeen Ali, Jason Roy, and Curran brothers (Sam and Tom), returned to England on Wednesday.
Other English cricketers like Eoin Morgan, Dawid Malan, and Chris Jordan would return home in the next 48 hours.
Butler's IPL campaign this season was topsy-turvy. The wicket-keeper batsman struggled with his form in the beginning. He managed to score just 130 runs in his first six-game of the season at a mediocre average of 21.67.
However, the ace player turned things around against Hyderabad in the 28th match of IPL. He scored a blistering 124 runs off 66 balls with the help of 11 fours and eight sixes as Rajasthan won the match by 55 runs.
