His visit was inspiring for the players, coaches, and staff as he praised their hard work and the world-class facilities.

A special moment was the inauguration of a room named after him, highlighting his strong bond with the centre and its mission to nurture future cricketing talent. The Rajasthan Royals' official social media account shared a video of his visit.

This serves as motivation for young cricketers. Jos also had fun on the field, playing a few balls with the ‘Lil Champs,’ a team of tribal kids from IMSE school. The children were overjoyed to bat and bowl with the England captain, making it a memorable experience.

During his visit, Jos inspected the pitches and took an interest in the training conditions and facilities. He also enjoyed a cultural performance by IMSE students, showing his appreciation for their efforts.

Another highlight was Jos Buttler honouring distinguished individuals for their contributions. He felicitated Dr. Mukesh Laddha, a sports injury expert, Subramaniam, for his work with special-needs children, and Padmanabh (Paddy) Joshi, for his efforts in developing district-level cricket.

Buttler’s visit left a lasting impression on everyone. His encouraging words highlighted the impact of sports in transforming lives and inspiring young cricketers.
