Michael Vaughan heaps praise of Jos Buttler
Former England skipper Michael Vaughan was all in praise for his nation’s wicketkeeper batter and has in fact termed him as the best at the moment- the one who reads the conditions brilliantly and adapts accordingly.
Indeed Buttler single-handedly took his side to a respectable total of 163/4 in the alotted 20 Overs.It is worth noting that the England scorecard read 47/3 at the end of 10 Overs and run-scoring seemed to be a difficult task as has been the pattern throughout the tournament.

But, as Vaughan rightly stated, Buttler switched gears with consummate ease while respecting the conditions early on and made sure he also did not throw his bat wildly at anything out of frustration and scoreboard pressure. This was something that Indian batters the other day simply could not execute.
