England wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler is hoping to draw inspiration from Virat Kohli and use the Indian Premier League experience to earn his maiden Test ton during the five-Test series against India starting on Wednesday.
"Someone like Virat Kohli is an immensely talented guy but also watching him go about it you see that mentality of getting to the top. They seem to make the right decision a lot of the time. That is a skill," he told reporters at The Oval.
"The hunger to do it day in day out...that hunger really shines through in those top players."
"For those two games against Pakistan, I was not sure how it would go but I approached them in a great manner and it is important for me to do that going into this series."
"There are a few guys I have played with. Naturally you have friendships with them but on the field they seem to be forgotten and everyone is competitive,"
"I am sure there will be moments in the Test series, especially on the field, when those things look like they have been forgotten. It will be highly competitive."
