While a lot many justifiable names were part of the lists, there were a few too many surprise omissions and selections made by ICC, one of the major omissions being the absence of Pakistan players from the Test and T20I team, for which they have received flak from across the globe.
Chopra went with Glenn Maxwell and Kieron Pollard as his two all-rounders and selected Rashid Khan as the sole spinner of his side.
This was second successful run-chase for Rajasthan Royals in back-to-back games with Ben Stokes starring again with a half-century.
In five IPL matches that he opened this season, he has scored 110 runs in 103 balls and is yet to score a six. And his strike rate of 106.79 is the least among all batters who have faced more than 100 balls this season.
Rajasthan Royals will return to action later tonight when they take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2020.
Rajasthan Royals are still in a do-or-die situation as they need to win all their remaining games to be in the run for the play-offs and Jos Buttler remains a vital cog for the team.
On Monday, Rajasthan secured a comfortable seven-wicket win against CSK and kept their chances afloat of making it to the playoffs.
After Royals spinners stifled Chennai Super Kings to stop them at 125 for five, Buttler came up with an unbeaten 70-run knock off just 48 balls to lead his side to a comfortable seven-wicket IPL win on Monday night.
Rajasthan Royals later shared the picture on Twitter with the caption, "Holding No. 7, while on cloud 9."
Buttler on Monday said that he batted with more intensity while scoring an unbeaten 70 off 48 balls against Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
Rajasthan Royals (RR) gave themselves a new lease of life on Monday with a convincing seven-wicket win over three-time winners Chennai Super Kings (CSK), a result that lifted them from the bottom of the points table.
On Buttler's incredible innings, Smith said that the wicketkeeper-batsman took the pressure off him at the other hand.
With the win, only their fourth in the season after 10 games, Rajasthan take the fifth spot in the points table, pushing Chennai Super Kings once again to the bottom end.
Jos Buttler, whose 70-run knock went in vain against Mumbai Indians, has pointed out a major reason behind RR's three-match losing streak.
The English wicket-keeper batsman smashes 34-ball 50 after RR top-order collapses chasing 194 against MI.
Buttler, who had missed the first game, said his team came out with a great performance against Chennai Super Kings in their opening Indian Premier League 2020 encounter on Tuesday.
Buttler had missed the opener as he had arrived in the UAE with his family and was hence taking quarantine measures.
Buttler has been a key player for Rajasthan Royals. He scored 311 runs last season and 548 runs in 2018.
A fan of Royal Challengers Bangalore took to Twitter on Sunday to enquire about Buttler's availability and the Royals came up with a hilarious while reply sharing a meme featuring Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan from Kaun Banega Crorepati.
Buttler will, however, miss the team's third and final T20 international against Australia slated for Tuesday.
