Rajasthan Royals (RR) teammates Jos Buttler and Trent Boult engaged in a lighthearted Q/A session ahead of their clash with Punjab Kings (PBKS). The duo shared their favorite TV shows, actors they would like to portray them in a biopic, and their IPL and cricketing preferences.
Buttler expressed his admiration for Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan, stating that he would choose him to play his character in a biopic. Boult, known for his humor, revealed that the last thing he searched on his phone was “Trent Boult dismissing Jos Buttler.”
When asked about his craziest fan interaction, Boult remarked on the enthusiastic nature of Indian fans, describing their requests for selfies, waves, and kisses as “weird.” Buttler, a self-proclaimed fan of the American sitcom “Friends,” said he could binge-watch it for the rest of his life.
Boult named KL Rahul as his favorite Indian player, while Buttler praised Virat Kohli’s cover drive. Boult’s most memorable IPL dismissal was his 100th wicket in the tournament, which happened to be Kohli. He also expressed his desire to dismiss former England batter Kevin Pietersen if given the chance.
If not a cricketer, Boult said he would have been a postman. When asked to choose between England’s “Bazball” style of cricket and Yashasvi Jaiswal’s “Jaisball” style, Buttler sided with the latter, acknowledging Jaiswal’s impressive performance in the Test series against England.
Boult crowned Bhuvneshwar Kumar as the “best new ball bowler” and expressed his desire to have Rashid Khan in the RR team.
