England v India: Specsavers 3rd Test - Day Four
Jos Buttler

Without a doubt, Jos Buttler is one of the best finishers in ODIs at the moment. The wicketkeeper-batsman impressed everyone with his T20 batting for Somerset and then Lancashire and was called into the English T20I side as a 20-year-old.

Buttler showed why he is a dangerous player in the format as he tore apart bowling attacks in the world. After being promoted as an opener, he took consistency to a whole new level and is surely on his way to greatness not only in T20Is but also the ODI format.

The same cannot be said about Test cricket as he was dropped from the side after a poor start to his career before he was given a lifeline earlier this year after his heroics in the IPL. Since making a comeback, Buttler has looked good as he scored two fifties and three centuries in five matches. One can surely say that he has cemented his place in the English Test side with his recent performances. With the talent he possesses, he can easily go on to become England's go-to batsman across all three formats.
