Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler Biography

The extra T in the surname is not the only thing that makes Jos Buttler different. A man gifted with excellent hand-eye coordination, Buttler always seems to be ready to strike by the time the ball reaches him; and once it does, he bludgeons them without any mercy.

Buttler scores at a strike rate comfortably over 110 in ODIs, which is more than phenomenal. In all T20 cricket it is approaching the 150-mark, which means he is one of the most dangerous batsmen in limited-overs cricket. The fact that he keeps wickets (and does a rather good job at it) makes him an asset to any side.

Identified as a teenage prodigy, Buttler rose through age-group cricket from even his pre-teens, smashing his way to Somerset Under-13s. At 17 he smashed 227 not out in a 50-over match for King’s College Taunton against King’s Burton. He added a record 340 with Alex Barrow (later Buttler’s Somerset teammate). He was named Wisden Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year.

He did not have a good start to his international career. He has those cameos, but the big scores eluded him. For a while it seemed he would remain a fringe player with sporadic appearances.

Things changed after he moved to Lancashire in 2014. The breakthrough innings came in an ODI at Lord’s against Sri Lanka. Walking out at 111 for 5 in pursuit of 301, Buttler launched a furious onslaught, reaching his hundred in a mere 61 balls. It was at that point the fastest ODI hundred by an Englishman.

A hundred against Durham, followed by consecutive fifties, earned him a Test cap against India later that season. He responded with 85, 70, and 45 in his first three innings, but never really got going in whites. Despite that, 2014 gave Buttler the launching pad he needed.

Then he started to slam hundreds at ridiculously quick rates. At Edgbaston in 2015 he raced to a 66-ball hundred against New Zealand; at Dubai against Pakistan that winter he broke his own record with a 46-ball hundred; he got a 73-ball hundred against South Africa at Bloemfontein in three months’ time; and in the summer of 2016 he set another English record, this time for the fastest ODI fifty, reaching there in 22 balls against Pakistan at Trent Bridge.

His big-hitting abilities made him hot property among T20 franchises across the world, earning him contracts with Melbourne Renegades and Mumbai Indians.
