Our Take
Jos Buttler has been one of the finest players in the shortest format of the game. As he is now the highest run-scorer in this format, his demand across the other T20 leagues will also increase to a great extent. Noting the fact that he is just 35 years old, he will be able to carry on the same form across the other leagues. Whether it is the Indian Premier League or The Hundred, Buttler doesn't even look at the pitch conditions, he just goes on to score runs.
