ICC World Cup 2023: Jos Buttler Names Three Batters He Enjoys Watching, Including Two Indians

England white-ball captain Jos Buttler recently revealed the names of three white-ball players he enjoys watching bat in international cricket. Jos Buttler picked two Indian batters, including skipper Rohit Sharma and wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, on his list of favourite players.

Jos Buttler is one of the most explosive and formidable white-ball batters in modern-day cricket. The wicketkeeper-batter led the England National Cricket Team to victory as captain in last year’s T20 World Cup in Australia. He will captain the team in the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023.

Rohit Sharma’s Pull Shot – Jos Buttler

Speaking to ESPNcricinfo for an interview on ‘Cricket Monthly’, Jos Buttler said that he admired Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant for their distinctive batting skills and mindsets.

Jos Buttler lauded Rohit’s pull shot technique and Pant’s fearless approach to batting. He also mentioned South Africa’s Quinton de Kock as another player he enjoys watching.

“Quinton de Kock – the way he picks it up off his legs. Rohit Sharma’s pull shot. Rishabh Pant’s mindset, that fearless [nature]. He’s fun to watch,” Buttler responded.

Rohit Sharma will be next seen in action during the upcoming Asia Cup, which is scheduled to commence on August 30. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant is expected to be ruled out of the upcoming ODI World Cup at home.
