Jos Buttler has been roped in by the Gujarat Titans (GT). The flamboyant England white-ball captain was surprisingly released by the Rajasthan Royals (RR), the franchise that put the first paddle for their star. RR went on a bidding war with the Gujarat Titans (GT). Despite having a low purse of Rs 41 crore, RR went for Buttler as much as they could. They quit the bidding at Rs 9.50 crore before the Punjab Kings (PBKS) scooped in. Ultimately, he went to GT for a whopping Rs 15.75 crore.
