Veteran commentator Aakash Chopra has urged Phil Salt and Harry Brook to learn from veteran England keeper-batter Jos Buttler how they should approach their batting in the remaining two T20Is against India as well. He added that the England captain has read the spinners from the hand and been able to control the match as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra’, he said, “What can Salt and Brook learn from Buttler? It’s a good question because they should learn something. One of your guys is playing so well, he is able to control the innings and is scoring runs as well. Jos Buttler is showing repeatedly that you need to read the ball from the hand. The overaggressive game doesn’t work. The plans should be slightly clear and you find a way to score runs. Jos Buttler is bringing his massive experience to the fore, that he will show how to score runs. His batting comes in the first or second over every time.”

In the same video, Aakash Chopra also stated that Jos Buttler’s methodical approach has helped him become a great player.

“He knows where he has to go. He steps out and hits straight. He prefers the on-side a little because his bottom hand is dominant. He uses his right hand very well and then he picks his bowlers. He doesn’t hit every ball. He tries to read the ball from the hand and is not batting recklessly. It seems at times that Harry Brook is unable to figure out and is batting recklessly, that he just goes on the front foot. If you are unable to read length, it becomes difficult because the first thing you need to know as soon as a spinner releases the ball is whether you have to play it off the front foot or the back foot,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
