Dhruv Jurel is another wicketkeeper-batter who can be considered as a replacement for Jos Buttler for the rest of the games. The RR’s think-tank wouldn’t have to ponder too much about tweaking the playing XI, if they promote Dhruv Jurel as an opener.
The young prospect has got limited deliveries to face down the pecking order. He has been a part of the team in 11 games this season. Overall, the youngster has managed to score 131 runs at a strike rate of 135.05 including a half-century.

Tom Kohler-Cadmore is one of the players who can replace Jos Buttler for the remaining games of this season. The Royals acquired the England wicketkeeper-batter for INR 40 lakh in the dying hours of the IPL 2024 auction.
The deal was considered an absolute steal, considering a player of his stature. The versatile cricketer wouldn’t hesitate to open the innings alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal. The 29-year-old finished Abu Dhabi T10 league (2023/24) as the top run-getter with 368 runs including 2 fifties.
