‘ENGLAND’S BUTTLER BETTER THAN DHONI’

Australia skipper Tim Paine has rated England’s Jos Buttler as the “best whiteball wicketkeeper-batsman in the world” and even went on to hail the Englishman as better than India’s World Cup winning former skipper and wicket-keeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Asked to rate Buttler, Paine, who himself is a stumper said: “He’s good, he’s very good. Right now, he’d have to be the best white-ball wicket-keeper batsman in the world.”

“I don’t think there’s too many guys to challenge him. MS Dhoni is pretty good, but at this moment, Jos is at the absolute peak of his powers.”
