Jos Buttler is in the list of players who can win a game single-handedly, which he has already shown in the past while playing for the Rajasthan Royals. It is also one of the reasons why any team prepares for him the most. His all-around shots can make any bowler’s day go bad.
However, just before the start of a new season, he gives credit to IPL for the improvement that he has shown in his game over the years. He believes IPL gives a unique platform where top players around the world not just compete against the best but also learn from them.
Not ECB, Jos Butter Said, “IPL has been the biggest influence on Jos Butter’s career”
“Absolutely. As I said, the IPL has been the biggest influence on my career. The lessons I’ve learned during IPL seasons, the interactions I’ve had, and the people I’ve worked with as coaches and players have all been invaluable,” he said during a media interaction.
Jos Butter also gives credit to the former Rajasthan Royals coach
Jos Buttler has been part of the Rajasthan-based franchise for a long period of time in his career. Before switching to Gujarat, he had represented them in 6 consecutive seasons. Some of those conversations have helped me while playing for England in Test cricket, T20 cricket, and 50-over cricket. It’s had a huge impact. “As Kevin (Pietersen) was saying in his interview on my podcast, the opportunity to build a relationship with Rahul Dravid and work on playing spin creates chances that would otherwise be very limited.
“Even now, after just a few days here, getting to talk to Matthew Hayden about batting — I probably wouldn’t get that opportunity otherwise. So it’s had the same impact on me as it did for KP,” Buttler said.
How can Jos Buttler make GT win their 2nd IPL Title?
Although Jos Butter has been seen struggling with his form for a long period of time. But when it comes to IPL, he always gets back his lost form, which we have seen him doing several times for Rajasthan and Gujarat.
“The challenge is the same — prepare well, get into a good headspace, and give yourself the best chance to perform. Whether you’re in form or out of form, you need the energy to keep trying, keep preparing, and put yourself out there.
Your daily dose of cricket!
With Jos Buttler coming in the form, it will give a very good balance to the team, which is very young, led by the Indian captain, Shubman Gill. Also, it will be a very good opportunity for the English batter to prove himself in the IPL, looking at the upcoming ICC events aligned in 2027.
