There could be stiff competition among the franchises to include England wicketkeeper-opening batsman Buttler. Let's take a look at three teams that will spend money to sign Butler.
Chennai Super Kings
Although many teams are trying to rope in Jos Buttler, Chennai Super Kings will be desperate to buy him. There is not one but many reasons behind this. First of all, he can prove to be a good alternative to MS Dhoni. Dhoni may be playing this season, but fitness could be a big issue. In such a situation, who can be a better wicketkeeper than Jos Buttler? He is an aggressive opener. Chennai Super Kings also does not have any opener to support Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Punjab Kings have the biggest purse in the auction, which means they have retained the least number of players and are looking to revamp their squad in the auction. Punjab needs players in every slot like wicketkeeper, opener, finisher, all-rounder, pacer and spinner. Punjab has Rs 110.5 crore and with this money it can buy any player it wants. In such a situation, don't be surprised if you see Butler playing for Punjab Kings in the next season!
Rajasthan Royals
If there is any team for which Jos Buttler is most likely to leave, it is Rajasthan Royals. Rajasthan Royals is Jos Buttler's old team. He has been a veteran player of this franchise for the last several seasons. Let us tell you that Rajasthan Royals considered it necessary to retain young Indian wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel in place of Butler.
