3 reasons why Jos Buttler can be GT’s top run-scorer in IPL 2025

The Gujarat Titans have suffered an 11-run defeat against the Punjab Kings in the fifth game of the Indian Premier League 2025. Despite the loss, former England skipper Jos Buttler steals the show for his magnificent performance. The star batter has racked up 54 off 33 balls, featuring four boundaries and two sixes with a solid strike rate of 164.

His batting performance in the opening clash showcases he can emerge as a leading run-scorer for his side. In the same vein, given below are the three major reasons that highlight that the Taunton-born batter can be a leading run scorer for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025.

Butler’s effective IPL record

The stylish right-handed batter has racked up an incredible 3500 runs in history and has great knowledge of Indian conditions. The former England captain has piled up 863 runs in the IPL 2022, earning him the Orange Cap. Not only this, Jos Buttler guided his side to storm into the finals before they succumbed to the Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans. His track record in the Indian conditions shows that he is one of the players who can emerge as a top run scorer.

Butter’s opening stand with skipper Shubman Gill

Buttler’s opening stand with Captain Gill now adds an intriguing layer to the Indian Premier League 2025. Gill was the leading run scorer in the IPL 2023 and guided the side to the finals before they lost to MS Dhoni-led CSK in the showdown. Buttler’s ability to smash runs at the top order alongside Gill’s aggressive display in the power plays is something ever unique. This opening partnership can be fire and might be harmful to most of the bowlers in the power plays.

Butler’s recent form

Jos Buttler has been in great form recently. The star batter was in stellar form during the India vs. England T20I series despite the results. The star batter has racked up 54 runs from just 33 balls, showcasing her aggressive style, and this recent form can make her one of the top contenders to end his journey as a top run scorer for Gujarat Titans.
