Buttler on Sooryavanshi scoring 11-ball fifty for India A: ‘Cricket’s too easy’

Published by Webster

4 min readJun 24, 2026 10:13 PM IST Vaibhav Sooryavanshi remains the talk of the cricketing world even as India get ready for a two-match T20I series against Ireland starting on Friday. England wicket-keeper batsman and former captain Jos Buttler was amazed at how the 15-year-old bounced back after a physical altercation with Sri Lanka A players in the tri-series in Dambulla and broke the record for the fastest-ever fifty scored in 50-over List A cricket in the final. The left-hander got to his half-century in 11 balls and finished on 94 from 29 balls to lay the foundation for India A to reach a massive score of 377/9, which proved too much in the end. “He was involved in a heated post-match clash after India A’s Super Over defeat to Sri Lanka A. The 15-year-old exchanged a few words and briefly shoved a Sri Lankan player following reported sledging during the match. So the cricket authority stepped in quickly with warnings and disciplinary reviews following the incident, but he has instantly redeemed himself in …

4 min readMay 21, 2026 03:39 PM IST 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s astonishing IPL season has now entered territory once reserved for legends. After another breathtaking assault – 93 off just 38 balls against Lucknow Super Giants – the Rajasthan Royals opener is closing in on one of the most iconic records in T20 cricket: Chris Gayle’s mark for the most sixes in a single IPL season. Speaking on the latest episode of the podcast For the Love of Cricket, Jos Buttler and Stuart Broad could barely hide their disbelief at what the teenager is producing game after game. “And talking about sixes, our friend Vaibhav smashed a few sixes again last night — 93 off 38. He’s now hit the most sixes for sure by an Indian player in an IPL. He’s over 50 (53) sixes, I think, in the season. And I think it’s only Gayle who’s just ahead of him with maybe one or two more sixes for the all-time record for most sixes in a season,” Buttler said. The numbers are beginning …

R Ashwin recalled running out Jos Buttler at the non-striker’s end in IPL 2019. The incident occurred during KXIP’s match against RR, when Ashwin was representing Punjab. Ashwin’s mankad of Buttler sparked a massive controversy over fair play, but the former India cricketer has always stood by his original decision. R Ashwin recalled his controversial dismissal of Jos Buttler. Chasing a target of 185, RR started strong with Buttler taking on opposition bowlers until Ashwin took the bails off before even delivering his ball. Buttler had to depart as he was outside the crease at the non-striker’s end. The pair exchanged words after the incident, and the third umpire also gave the Englishman the marching orders, which changed the tide of the match. Punjab went on to win the match by 14 runs.

Jos Buttler, Stuart Broad back Jacob Bethell in IPL after Alastair Cook criticism: ‘Times have changed’ | Cricket News

Published by Webster

3 min readApr 30, 2026 06:42 PM IST England stars Jos Buttler and Stuart Broad have backed Jacob Bethell’s decision to remain with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL, arguing that the modern game has changed and that the youngster can still benefit enormously from being in the tournament even without regular game time. Bethell’s situation has sparked debate in England after former captain Alastair Cook suggested the left-hander would be better served returning home to play county cricket rather than staying on the bench in India. That stance was strongly challenged by Kevin Pietersen, who argued that critics underestimate the value of being part of an IPL setup. Pietersen said training alongside elite players, working with world-class coaches and learning in a high-pressure environment could be just as beneficial for a young cricketer as county appearances. Buttler sided firmly with that argument, saying those who have not experienced the IPL often fail to understand what it offers. “I think unless you’ve played in the IPL and been here and experienced it, it’s very difficult …

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s remarkable emergence in the IPL has prompted Jos Buttler and Stuart Broad to joke that Rajasthan Royals may need to hand the teenage sensation a historic long-term deal to keep hold of him. The left-hander, who debuted for RR in IPL 2025, has become one of the most talked-about cricketers in the league for his ability to play some of the best bowlers with little or no fear and has already scored 400 runs in nine matches this season. Discussing the youngster’s future, Buttler suggested Sooryavanshi could become the first player to land an unprecedented two-decade contract. “Could be the first 20-year contract,” Buttler said on the “For The Love of Cricket” podcast. Broad quickly agreed. “20-year contract, yeah.” Buttler then imagined the scale of numbers the teenager could produce over such a spell. “You know, 20,000 runs in his IPL career. He’d still probably have another five years left.” Broad responded with a laugh: “Yeah, he might be a bit tired by then.” Broad, meanwhile, praised Rajasthan Royals for spotting and backing …
