'I Would Change The Rule Of Releasing Players In IPL', Says Samson On Buttler’s Departure
New Delhi: Ahead of IPL 2025 season, Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson said letting go of his close friend, wicketkeeper-opener Jos Buttler, was the toughest thing for him and that if he had the power to change a rule in the IPL, it would be of never releasing players.
RR retaining Samson, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shimron Hetmyer ahead of IPL 2025 mega auction meant they didn’t have a slot to retain Buttler, who will now turn out for the Gujarat Titans in the upcoming season starting on March 22.
"IPL gives you the opportunity to lead a team and play at the highest level, but it also allows you to build close friendships. Jos Buttler is one of my closest friends. We played together for seven years, forming a long batting partnership. We knew each other so well and always kept in touch. He was like an elder brother to me.
