Jos Buttler, the star wicketkeeper-batter for Gujarat Titans, shared a harrowing experience following the team's loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL 2026 final held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 31. As the team was returning to their hotel, a short circuit caused smoke to fill the bus, prompting an emergency evacuation of players and support staff. Thankfully, everyone was unharmed. Buttler reflected on the incident, stating it encapsulated the team's disappointing night, as they fell short in their quest for a second IPL title. Captain Shubman Gill also commented on the match, admitting that their total was insufficient for a competitive game. Despite a strong performance throughout the season, the Titans faced a painful end to their campaign, further compounded by the bizarre bus incident that left a lasting impression on the players.
