The veteran English wicket-keeper batsman, Jos Buttler strongly believes that there is nothing called “peaking at the right time” as the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli has time and again showed scoring centuries at will. He has had a good Indian Premier League (IPL) with Rajasthan Royals in 2018, is happy that his stint in India’s biggest money-spinner has helped him to deal with expectations.
With the ICC World Cup 2019 around the corner, Buttler who had a great series against West Indies is raring to go and is not bothered about peaking early.
After reaching Jaipur on Wednesday, Buttler said, “The idea of peaking isn’t really an idea that sits naturally in my mindset. Sometimes you hear people talking about going to another level. Why can’t you just stay at a peak level. Someone like [Virat] Kohli scores a hundred every game. He doesn’t think: ‘Ah, that was okay, I’ll peak at some point’. Just do it every day. That’s the sort of mindset I’ve been wanting to hit.”

What Buttler loves about India is the “chaos”, which makes every cricketer stronger.
The Englishman further added, “You have to deal with that chaos. It might be the timings of things. It might be training’s not perfect. We’re very lucky in England: everything’s very structured. But in India, you have to deal with chaos, and I think that helps to deal with expectation.”
The veteran gloveman reckons that IPL always gives a plethora of experience to an overseas player.
Talking about it further, Buttler said, “A lot of the time, it’s making sure you show that externally, even if you’re not on the inside. And a lot of trust in your ability, that allows you then to let your subconscious take over in the middle.”
