Jos Buttler of Gujarat Titans stated that he is not weighed down by his lacklustre performance in the T20 World Cup as he gears up for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Despite scoring only 87 runs in eight innings during England’s run to the semifinals, Buttler emphasized that he approaches each IPL season with the same mindset, regardless of his previous form.
The 35-year-old utilized the break post-World Cup to reflect on his game and prepare for the IPL. He acknowledged seeking advice from a select group of individuals to improve his performance. Buttler, with 15 years of experience, acknowledged the highs and lows of his career and emphasized the importance of staying optimistic and energetic in practice sessions.
The Titans will rely on Buttler’s form this season, especially after his impressive performance last year where he scored 538 runs. Buttler expressed confidence in his opening partners Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, urging them not to feel pressured to replicate their previous success. He also praised the potential of Rajasthan pacer Ashok Sharma, who was signed by GT for Rs. 90 lakh in the auction, highlighting his pace, accuracy, and fantastic slower ball.
Overall, Buttler remains focused on contributing to the team’s success in the IPL and is determined to start afresh in each game. The Titans will kick off their campaign against Punjab Kings on Tuesday.
