The IPL 2025 mega auction is just around the corner, and it is set to take place in Jeddah on 24th and 25th of November. This year, the auction promises to be a big one as several players could be seen playing for new franchises. Among the players, there are speculations that Ishan Kishan might move to Gujarat Titans, but another big name that could catch the eye is Jos Buttler. If not Ishan Kishan, Gujarat Titans might target Buttler as they prepare for IPL 2025.
The explosive England batsman, who has played for Rajasthan Royals for seven years, has been released by the franchise and will be available at a base price of 2 crore rupees. Here’s why Jos Buttler could be the perfect fit for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025:
Explosive opening batter
Jos Buttler is known for his explosive batting. He has the ability to change the game with his attacking style, especially in the powerplay. Having him at the top of the order alongside Shubman Gill would be a deadly combination. This would allow Gujarat Titans to start strong, put up big runs early on, and dominate the opposition. Buttler’s explosive style could be just what they need to set a solid foundation in the first few overs, something they’ve been looking for in the past seasons.

Strong record at Narendra Modi Stadium
Buttler has a good record at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Out of the three IPL matches he has played there, he scored one century and maintained an impressive strike rate of 142. This proves that he enjoys playing at the venue and can make a big impact at the Ahmedabad stadium.
Good wicketkeeper and leader
Although Gujarat Titans already have Shubman Gill as their captain, if he is unavailable, Jos Buttler could step up as a strong leader. Buttler is also a skilled wicketkeeper, adding further value to the team. His all-round skills make him an attractive option for Gujarat Titans, and they might place a strong bid for him in the upcoming IPL auction.
