The Englishman, who is a crucial cog in the RR unit, is expecting a second child with his wife soon. IPL 2021 was suspended midway through the season in May due to a rise in COVID-19 cases within the tournament's bio-secure bubbles. Taking to Twitter, Rajasthan Royals wrote, "Jos Buttler will not be part of the remainder of #IPL2021, as he and Louise are expecting a second child soon. We wish them well, and can't wait for the newest member of the #RoyalsFamily." Buttler married Louise Webber in October 2017 and they already have a daughter, who was born in 2019. With the playoff race expected to tighten in UAE, the Sanju Samson-led side will miss Buttler's experience. Before the league was suspended, RR were fifth in the points table, registering six points from seven games.
