The most destructive white-ball batsman England has produced — T20 World Cup captain.
Joseph Charles Buttler was born in Taunton, Somerset in 1990. He is the most destructive white-ball batsman England has produced. He captained England to the T20 World Cup victory in 2022. He won the IPL with Rajasthan Royals in 2022 — scoring 863 runs in the tournament, the second-highest in IPL history. His reverse sweeping — hitting deliveries to the off-side boundary by reversing his stance — is technically among the most difficult shots in cricket, which he plays with routine confidence. He was one of the survivors of the 2019 ODI World Cup Final — won by England on boundary countback. He plays for Lancashire in county cricket.
