Key Match-ups: Bhuvneshwar vs Jos Buttler

For Bhuvneshwar Kumar, his historical record against England captain Jos Buttler in T20 cricket stands out, having dismissed him in 6 out of their 16 encounters. Buttler's strike rate against Bhuvi is just 114. However, Buttler is expected to approach cautiously early in the game to counter Bhuvi's new ball threat, given his strong head-to-head records against the rest of SRH's bowlers, with all strike rates being above 140.


If Buttler manages to navigate through Bhuvi's spell, he will look to capitalize on his recent form against the Orange army, having scored fifty in three of his last four outings, including a remarkable 95 in the previous encounter and his career-best 124 against SRH in Delhi back in 2021.
