Jos Buttler Confident He Can Reach Virat Kohli’s Level

Written by Sumit Seth

As Virat Kohli has established himself as the best batsman of modern era, It would come as no surprise that players around the world want to emulate the Indian skipper and Jos Buttler is no different. The England wicketkeeper-batsman is confident that he is capable of reaching the level of Virat Kohli.

“I know I can go to another level,” Jos Buttler was quoted as saying by dailymail.co.uk.

“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 the Englishman.

However, while Kohli already has 41 ODI hundreds to his name, Jos Buttler has played a total of 126 ODIs in which he has managed to reach the three-figure mark just seven times. However, the right-hander’s destructive powers were clear to see in last year’s IPL.
