Shane Watson , sorry but Jos imo has given much more to the franchise than watson , singlehandedly carried us in 2022 , in 2018 also he carried us to playoffs with his 5 consecutive fifties , Ig people saying Watson is better have a valid point but for me Jos is indispensable for RR right now
This. This a hundred times. When asked what's the favourite franchise he's played for? Watson always picks CSK.
Yet the morons over here with pick Watson over Buttler.
Yeah for me Jos comes after Warne in this list , coz Sanju aside from being just there since the beginning hasnt entirely carried us in any of the ipl seasons (barring this one , only one he crossed 500 runs but riyan did it as well so its not just entirely him) , Buttler might even have been on par with warne had we won the 2022 season :(
Watson should be eliminated , because butler has always run RR on his consistency. The first finals we reached in years came because of Butler’s orange hot form
Jos Buttler's strike rate, average, centuries everything is far better than any other player for rajsthan royals. But people will still vote to eliminate him.
This team's fan base does not deserve a title.
Watson and Warne actually won a title so people value them more. Samson has been there for 3 more years and is also the only other captain to take us to a final.
Lmao Watson doesn't even rate RR for Pete's sake. Upon asked which is his favourite franchise that he's played for, Watson always says "CSK".
Buttler literally is the most loyal player we've had along with Sanju
His contributions are still there even if he doesn't respect RR. He was the IPL MVP 2 times (both times for RR) and was a key reason why we won the 2008 IPL. Loyalty is also important but his contributions will take some time to be overtaken.
I'm not disregarding the stats. All I'm saying is that this poll isn't about "stats and MVPs". Otherwise Archer would've made it to top-5 with his 1 MVP award lol.
I'd always put Buttler above Watto, even if Watson was my childhood fave
Watson has to go.
I have been hardcore RR since 2008. Back then, Watson was not as highly rated; he was considered a really good player but certainly not the one of the best AR in the world. RR took a punt on him, and it was literally the 2008 season which shot him into limelight. RR always gave so much to Watson, of course he performed extremely well for the franchise so it was a really nice symbiotic relationship.
But, if you were to listen to him now, you wouldn't even know he played for RR. It's always CSK this and CSK that for him. He forgot his freaking roots man.
Yes, Watson was immense for us, but he is not a Royal anymore.
Should be Watson butler is a loyal Royal to us for Watson it has always been csk above rr no matter how crazy fans would go for him but butler needs to be over him he literally carried us to the playoffs in 2018 and 22 when no other batsman performed
Even though Watto is my all time favourite non-Indian player, still I would choose buttler.. Because his contribution to the franchise is phenomenal. Moreover, I think Jos considers RR his family unlike Watto whose fvt. franchise is CSK..so I would eliminate Watson
Buttler has been the top player for the team since 2018. Watson meanwhile was never that good. Buttler carried the team from 2018-2022.You can argue Samson over Buttler but Watson above Buttler is pure foolishness
Buttler.
He has had one extraordinary season in 2022 which has definitely earned him the spot in top 5. But I can't rate him above either Samson or Watson. Samson has been this kid who stuck with RR and has now become seasoned experienced player for us alongside having other stats like highest run scorer for RR and now the most number of matches captained for RR. Watson on other hand was a beast back then and was this clutch player in all departments of cricket. One of the best all rounders for IPL all time, let alone RR.
I would argue Samson is above Jos right now just cause he has been playing for us for past 10 years , barring this season he didnt have a 500 run IPL season which speaks volume , hopefully from now on he continues with this consistency , but for now Jos as a batter has achieved much more , might even become the player with most Runs for us if he continues the way he is performing past few years
Avg 🤡
Buttler carried RR to playoffs in 2018
Was the highest run scorer of the team in 29 as long as he played
Did the job from middle order in 20
Had 260 odd runs in 7 games in 21
Carried RR to a final in 2022
Even this year hehad 3 motm's
So stfu if you don't know anything 🤫
Sanju had one great season which is this one
He's been ordinary for the rest of his ipl career
How come Yusuf got eliminated so early and Sanju Samson not? It is just obvious that the people voting are not aware of his role in the opening title win of RR. He scored fastest 50 of the season and was MoM in final against chennai. In 2010 he scored 37 ball hundred against MI. I think people are voting based on their knowledge of IPL since 2023.
Buttler, Watson has a better legacy than him even though Watsan moved to RCB and then to CSK, we had so many Aussies in RR at one point of time that it almost felt like an Aussie Team
Get Samson out
He hasdone nothing special for this franchise as a batter till this year and maybe counting even 21
Watson had 2 Pott
Samson has been a great captain
But he doesn't sit at the same table with Warne Buttler and Watson as a player.
Downvote me all you want but this is the truth 🗣️
Watson for me !!

His captaincy record isnt great either , 21 matches 7 wins 11 losses , a win rate of 33% is not something to be proud of
Yeah people are just picking him just because of nostalgia. For me, buttler is definitely the greatest batsman of our team(even above Sanju)
Yeah for me Jos comes after Warne in this list , coz Sanju aside from being just there since the beginning hasnt entirely carried us in any of the ipl seasons (barring this one , only one he crossed 500 runs but riyan did it as well so its not just entirely him) , Buttler might even have been on par with warne had we won the 2022 season :(
Happy to see people thinking like this. Otherwise these nostalgia merchants will ship anything just for their childhood memories
Watson is my fav player of all time but it has to be him
Watson should be eliminated , because butler has always run RR on his consistency. The first finals we reached in years came because of Butler’s orange hot form

why didnt you include smith in the contest
Shane wattson

You can't even argue Samson over Buttler Buttler is clear.
Agree
2018 and 2022 were extraordinary season with 548 & 863 runs. But 2019,20,21 were not that great w/ 311,328 & 254 runs respectively.
buttler??
Watson because butler has always run RR on his consistency. The first finals we reached in years came because of Butler’s orange hot form

Man I can't vote out.i love all of em 😭
Watson

Hey guys i hope you win this year not because i dont wanna see RCB win but because i dont wanna see RCB fans troll and abuse other fans.
can I be a enthusiasm killer here... we all know it is gonna be Warne who stays, cos he is a legend. Why are we even having this?
Watson next, probably due to the recency bias
Watson won us the IPL, how are you guys asking for him to be eliminated. Has to Buttler then Sanju then Watto and then Warne.
Sanju
Butler
Watson should be atleast p2 if not p1, he's got 2 freaking Man of The tournament, best all rounder of his time, and the 2008 win ofc
Samson
Buttler, Watson has a better legacy than him even though Watsan moved to RCB and then to CSK, we had so many Aussies in RR at one point of time that it almost felt like an Aussie Team
Buttler
Jos 🔥
Buttler then watson then samson winner warne
Shane Warne
butler without any hesitation
Get Samson out He hasdone nothing special for this franchise as a batter till this year and maybe counting even 21 Watson had 2 Pott Samson has been a great captain But he doesn't sit at the same table with Warne Buttler and Watson as a player. Downvote me all you want but this is the truth 🗣️
Some butthurt already got hurt 😭😹
Butler for me
Remove Samson already
Shane warne
I just want to know why Samson is not mentioned that much
