Back in Form: Buttler’s 60 Off 37 Powers Gujarat Titans
1 min read
Jos Buttler silenced doubters with a commanding 60-run knock off 37 balls against Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday. Playing for Gujarat Titans at Ekana Stadium, the wicketkeeper-batter also joined an elite club by scoring his 100th T20 fifty.
Reflecting on his return, Buttler said, ‘It’s relieving to get back to run-scoring ways after some rough patches. Contributing to the team’s success feels fantastic.’
He attributed his revival to a mental and technical reset during a cricket hiatus. ‘Being away helped me regroup. Lately, I’ve zeroed in on my basics and setup during practice,’ the star noted.
Buttler pinpointed subtle technique errors that blurred his vision on the ball. ‘Those niggles made tracking tough, turning simple shots complex. Now, I’m locked on every detail before delivery and trusting 15 years of muscle memory.’
Praise flowed for mentor Matthew Hayden’s sharp insights. ‘He nailed it early: ‘Are you seeing the ball clearly?’ Such simple wisdom from greats packs a punch. His presence is magnetic—everyone hangs on his words. Cherished those sessions.’
As Gujarat Titans climb the points table, Buttler’s firecracker innings underscores his enduring class. This could be the spark that ignites a dominant run in the IPL.
