Buttler also captained the T20 side to a series victory. "You get to a place where you are thinking 'today I have to get runs or can you just drop me and get me out of this'," he told the Daily Telegraph. "Keeping wicket is the worst place to be when out of form. You can't hide at fine leg where you might touch the ball once every 10 overs. Behind the wicket you are involved every ball," explained Buttler. Buttler added, "You are never going to go to a coach and say 'look I think you need to drop me' because you have that pride thinking you can turn it around but it was definitely a relief to be taken out of that game and then suddenly the world changed." "When I was watching the Sharjah Test I wondered why I had been so worked up," concluded Buttler.
