‘Jos bhaiya, apna phone wapas lo Yuzi se’ – Fans shocked as Jos Buttler urges his Instagram followers to vote for Dhanashree Varma in reality show
England white-ball skipper Jos Buttler didn’t have the best of ODI World Cups as captain last year. Entered the tournament as the defending champions, the team finished seventh as they lost six out of nine league games. One of those losses came against Afghanistan. In their last two games, the Three Lions managed to keep themselves in the top eight to qualify for the Champions Trophy 2025.
Apart from this, Buttler’s batting form during the tournament was horrific. The two-time World Cup winner managed only 183 runs in nine games and no fifties. However, in the white-ball series against the West Indies, he scored three fifties (one in the ODI series and two in the T20I series). After this, the T20 World Cup 2022 winning captain played for Paarl Royals in the SA20 2024, the subsidiary of Rajasthan Royals.

During the tournament, he scored 408 runs in 11 games and was the top run-getter for the team, which played in the playoffs, losing to Joburg Super Kings in the Eliminator. Meanwhile, ahead of the IPL 2024, the wicketkeeper batter posted an Instagram story, urging his fans to vote for Dhanashree Varma in the dance reality show, Jhalak Dikhla Jaa. Varma is the wife of Yuzvendra Chahal, the India leg-spinner and Buttler’s teammate in the Rajasthan Royals.
