In his previous five T20s (including a T20I a decade ago) in Pune, Buttler has scored 155 runs at an average and strike rate of 51.67 and 151.96. While Buttler hasn’t scored a T20 half-century at this venue, him scoring as many as three centuries this season are enough for the opposition to be making plans to contain him on Tuesday.
