Mumbai: We are roughly a little over a week away from the start of the brand new season of the Indian Premier League. Rajasthan Royals star batter Jos Buttler, who has been a part of the IPL mania, has admitted that Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma’s fan following is ‘incredible’. Buttler, who joined the Royals camp on Thursday, claimed that when these two cricketers step into the field, it is like 10 year-old at a Taylor Swift concert.
“There’s guys like MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli, when these guys walk on the field in IPL. It is probably like 10-Year olds at a Taylor Swift concert. Their fan following is just Incredible & unmatched. It’s unbelievable, Noise that people create just to see them,” Buttler said.
Kohli and Rohit, and even Buttler would be important members of their respective squads.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians play their IPL 2024 opener against Gujarat Titans on March 24 at the Narendra Modi stadium. That game is expected to be a cracker. On the other hand, the RCB side play the tournament opener on March 22 against CSK.
Kohli, who missed the entire England series, would join the RCB camp on March 17. The RCB franchise has never won an IPL title and they would like to change it this year.
Since withdrawing from the five-match T20I series against Afghanistan in January to be with his wife Anushka Sharma at the birth of their second kid, Akaay, Kohli has not played in a competitive cricket match.
The former RCB captain will also make his competitive cricket comeback in the IPL 2024, having been out of the game for two and a half months.
