Sourva-Dravid-Buttler
English wicket-keeper batsman Jos Buttler stated that India’s legendary batsmen Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid inspired him to play cricket. Jos Buttler represents the Rajasthan Royals franchise in the Indian Premier League.
Going down the memory lane, the 30-year-old wicket-keeper batsman recalled the game between India and Sri Lanka at the County Ground in Taunton. On the back of centuries from Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly, the Indian cricket team defeated Sri Lanka by 157 runs. Ganguly and Dravid formed a crucial partnership of 318 runs for the second wicket off 44.5 overs. However, after the partnership was broken, India could only manage to score 49 runs in the last 26 balls.
Sourav Ganguly, opening the batting, scored 183 runs off 158 balls with the help of 17 boundaries and seven sixes. On the other end, Rahul Dravid got 145 runs off 129 deliveries. His knock comprised of 17 fours and one six. As a result, team India posted 373 on the board. For Sri Lanka, Aravinda de Silva slammed 56 runs, but his knock wasn’t enough to get his team close.
Jos Buttler surprised after seeing the amount of support from the Indian cricketers
Jos Buttler was surprised after seeing the amount of support from the Indian cricketers. He praised the Indian cricket fanatics for supporting their team with every inch of their heart.
Jos Buttler was influential in England’s 2019 World Cup win, which took a relatively long time coming. The English wicket-keeper is a vital cog in the team’s setup. His form would be very crucial for their chances in the forthcoming T20 World Cup. The mega event is scheduled to be held in India in the month of October. England has a big summer ahead with a Test series against New Zealand. After the NZ series, they will play a five-match series against India. England will be fully aware of the threats both these sides possess. Thus, they will look forward to bouncing back after a disappointing India series early this year.
