Match-ups: Bhuvneshwar vs Jos Buttler

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has an excellant record against England captain Jos Buttler historically in T20 cricket, dismissing him in 6 of their 16 meetings. Buttler's strike rate against Bhuvi is just 114 .

Buttler will be expected to be cautious early in an attempt to ‘see off’ Bhuvi’s new ball threat, with strong head-to-head records against the rest of SRHs bowlers - all strike rates being above 140.

Should he be successful, Buttler will be looking to add to his excellent recent record against the Orange army, passing fifty in three of his last four outings including 95 last time out and his career highest score of 124 against SRH in Delhi back in 2021.
