Buttler, the newly appointed captain, did not have the best of starts, losing to India at home, but he quickly found his mojo as a leader, which was on full display during the World Cup.
Buttler, a wicketkeeper-batter par excellence, is gradually ascending to the status of one of England’s all-time great white-ball players. Former England captain Michael Vaughan compared his success with the bat and now as a leader to India’s legendary captain MS Dhoni.
To date, he is the only captain to have won all three ICC trophies in limited-overs cricket: the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 ODI World Cup, and the 2013 Champions Trophy.
For nearly eight years, Dhoni led India in all forms of cricket. He captained white-ball cricket for nearly a decade. Vaughan believes Buttler, now 32, can do the same for England.
Jos Buttler has now won the World Cup at the first attempt, and at the age of 32, he has the opportunity to create his own legacy. MS Dhoni was India’s captain for many years. Buttler can do the same, especially now that he is focusing on a single format. There is also steel present. It’s clear in Buttler’s eyes Vaughan published an article in The Daily Telegraph.
If it matters, both Dhoni and Buttler won T20 World Cups in their first ICC appearances as captains. The Indian legend went on to win the World Cup in ODI format in 2011, and Vaughan predicted that Buttler’s England would do the same.
The former England batter believes the reigning T20 and ODI World Cup winners are the favourites to win the ODI World Cup in India next year because of their all-round squad.
As a captain, you have everything covered when you have a left-arm seamer, pace, swing and spin, and three spinners. That is the standard for white-ball cricket in my opinion – you must have options. They have match winners from 1 to 11 He stated.
Buttler’s next assignment is a three-match One-Day International series against Australia, which begins on Wednesday.
