Player Battles: MS Dhoni versus Jos Buttler

#2 Their hard-hitting capabilities

Buttler is well known for his six hitting skills

"If 15 runs are needed off the last over, pressure is on the bowler, not on MS Dhoni,” former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop had once said about Dhoni. The words could not have been apter. When Dhoni swings the large willow in his hands and times the ball, it is almost an unwritten law that the leather would sail into the stands.

He has been doing it quite consistently over some time now and with the burden of captaincy gone, be sure you will see more of those towering sixes.Buttler too has been an aggressive player throughout his career. He loves power hitting and that is precisely why he bats a little lower down the order. Like Dhoni, Buttler to relishes the opportunity of getting his team home when they are struggling.

He was quite brilliant against Bangladesh in the last series and he would look to do the same here.
