Jos Buttler labelled best T20 batter in the world by Kevin Pietersen

Buttler notched his second ton of the 2022 IPL season in the Rajasthan Royals match against Delhi Capitals.

Buttler came out of the sheds with a bee in his bonnet and blasted his way to an incredible 116 off just 65 balls.

"His array of shots and his execution of shots is unmatched, but I also love his calmness and his presence of mind in the middle. KL Rahul is another who has those skills.

Pietersen believes that Buttler benefitted from a break post-Ashes which came because he was dropped from the Test side.

"There are several guys who look totally burnt out at the moment," Pietersen continued.

"That is not anyway to maximise world-class talent. They've churned out money for their boards by fulfilling most matches in every format in the last couple of years and, as star players, they are under constant pressure with millions of people watching them.

"Honestly, I think these guys need a six-month break. Get away to the US, to London, to wherever else where travel is unrestricted. Clear your head, come back and rack up the runs again. It's unrealistic, but it would do some of these guys the world of good."
