Time and again, IPL has played a massive part in bringing overseas players close to young Indian promising talent. While the IPL provides a great opportunity for players from all across the globe to unite, it also inspires a young cricketer when his icon or hero gives them a moment they can cherish all their life. English star Jos Buttler made it a special day for Yashaswi Jaiswal as he presented him with an autographed bat – which seems to be a parting gift.

The image was shared with the caption: “A special gift from a special opening partner. #HallaBol #RoyalsFamily @josbuttler @yashasvijaiswal28.” Also Read - BCCI Thanks Everyone For Organising IPL 2021 in Covid-19 Times, Urges All to Stay Safe

Hailed as the future of Indian cricket, Jaiswal has shown glimpses of greatness in his short career thus far.
Not just Buttler, cricketing icons like MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma also gave young cricketers moments they will remember.
Despite the Royals not living up to the expectations, Buttler hit a breathtaking century against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on May 2 in Delhi. He hammered 124 off only 64 balls with the aid of 11 fours and eight sixes as RR trounced SRH by 55 runs.
“This is up there (among my best) and certainly my first hundred in T20 cricket. I am delighted with that. I won’t say that I have been at my most fluent of late. I haven’t quite been feeling at ease at the crease, sort of searching for something. But what has been good is keeping a good mindset,” Buttler had said after the marvelous ton.
