England wicket-keeper-batsman Jos Buttler is turning out to be a superhuman day by day. He has been stacking up phenomenal performances ahead of the impending ICC World Cup 2019. He was one of the best performers against CSK during IPL 2018.

However, the Rajasthan Royals batsman considers MS Dhoni as his inspiration. Buttler once said in an interview, “He’s (Dhoni) always been a bit of an idol of mine, especially his demeanour. I enjoy the way he never looks flustered, and he’s one of these guys who seem to be not out at the end.”

Buttler was in a top-notch form in the recently concluded ODI series against West Indies. He scored 211 runs from 4 matches with the series-best strike rate of 143.54.

During his team's encounter against India on June 30, 2019, one cannot expect him to be lenient against his idol's team. He would be eyeing to give a colossal performance against the top class Indian team led by Virat Kohli.
