Jos Buttler can be proud of this season: Virender Sehwag

AHMEDABAD: Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag has said there is no shame in defeat for Rajasthan Royals' charismatic batter Jos Buttler, and that the England cricketer can be proud of his achievement in IPL 2022 after he emerged the highest run-getter with 863 runs.

Buttler took the Orange Cap this season. But there was little consolation for the Sanju Samson-led side as it failed to win the title despite the best efforts of the England cricketer, losing to Gujarat Titans by seven wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday night.

With four explosive centuries, most fours and most sixes and the Orange Cap to his name, Buttler capped off his most successful run in the IPL. But more than his run-scoring, it was his ability to switch gears and step out of his comfort zone that showcased the other side of his batting personality.

While congratulating Hardik Pandya for his team lifting the IPL trophy, the Indian legend also had words of praise for Jos Buttler.

"What a dream debut season for Gujarat Titans. @hardikpandya7 has been absolutely brilliant as a leader and player. This has been a fantastic IPL and great to see a new champion. Jos Buttler was in a league of his own and Rajasthan Royals can be proud of their season. #IPLFinal," tweeted Sehwag. (IANS)
