There is no better opening batsman in the world at the moment in T20 cricket than Jos Buttler- Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha). November 1, 2021
The cricketer is in excellent form. In the last game against arch-rivals Australia, he batted explosively to score 71 off 32, which ensured England won with more than nine overs to spare. This increased his net run rate. In Sharjah, Butler was much more than his explosive self. It was a contrasting innings, which saw caution in the opening phase and aggression when pushed. By the time the storm was over, his card read: 101 runs, 67 balls, 6 sixes, 6 fours at a staggering run rate of 150! Not only was it his first century, but it was also the first century of the entire tournament that did a lot – England beat West Indies, Pakistan beat India. The England batsmen challenged the Sri Lankan bowlers in the last five overs and scored 58 runs for the loss of just one wicket.
