Jos Buttler wants to replicate the success of Virat Kohli
England star batsman Jos Buttler has impressed one and all with his match-winning ability across formats. Buttler has become a special performer for England and is one of their main weapons for the upcoming ICC World Cup 2019. Buttler, who will be seen soon in IPL 2019, has stated that he wants to reach another level and emulate the success of Virat Kohli.
Kohli's consistency makes him stay above the rest
Since the start of 2017, Kohli has already amassed 15 ODI tons. He goes in as India's best bet in the 2019 World Cup in England and Wales. India are being considered one of the favorites and Kohli is being touted to have a great tournament. The consistency is what makes Kohli stand above the rest. And Buttler eyeing that consistency level is understandable.
Buttler wants to emulate Kohli's success
"Why couldn't you just stay at peak level? Someone like Kohli scores a hundred every-game, he doesn't settle for: Ah, that was ok, I'll peak at some point. Just do it every day. That's the sort of mindset I've been wanting to hit," said Buttler.
Kohli has ruled ODI cricket like nobody else
Skipper Virat Kohli's presence means India are in with a chance to win the World Cup. He has ruled ODI cricket like nobody else in the last few years. The 30-year-old has already smashed 41 ODI tons. He can finish off games and whenever he is in a groove, India generally win. Kohli has played a huge role in India's success in recent times.
Kohli is a true modern day legend
Kohli amassed 1,202 runs in ODIs in 2018. He hit six hundreds and three fifties. The star player ended as the top run-scorer in ODIs both in 2017 and 2018. This year as well, Kohli has already slammed three centuries. He is leading the charts at the moment in terms of runs scored (611). He is averaging 55.54 with the bat.
Buttler has the potential to reach another level: Our take
Buttler has raised his game in recent times and he is a genuine match-winner for England. The number one ODI side in the world will look to build upon the cushion Buttler provides at number six or seven. The player has the potential to reach another level. He will need to deliver consistent performance to have a similar sort of impact.
