Abu Dhabi, Nov 22 (IANS) England wicket-keeper batter Jos Buttler showed his class in the 2024 edition of Abu Dhabi T10 being played at Zayed Cricket Stadium with some stunning stroke play in the very first match for Deccan Gladiators against Chennai Brave Jaguars.
Buttler played a swashbuckling innings and smashed an unbeaten 62 off 24 decorated with four fours and six sixes for his side as they gunned down a massive target of 142 by seven wickets and with two balls to spare.

The white-ball skipper of the England team is pretty happy with the way English batters have been performing with the bat and sees this as a happy headache for the national side.
