The veteran English wicket-keeper batsman, Jos Buttler, has always been a massive supporter of the IPL as he was able to revamp his career after his consistent performances in the cash-rich league. He feels the upcoming edition of the tournament would be an ideal platform to prepare for the T20 World Cup.

The ICC marquee event will be taking place in Australia later this year. Buttler recently has been a decent batting form as he played a crucial role for England in the T20I series against South Africa. Eoin Morgan and his men would look to do a double, having lifted the 50-over World Cup last year.

As per the quotes in Sky Sports, Buttler said, “I think the IPL has had as big an impact as any on my career. It’s an amazing place to learn and it is the best T20 competition in the world, all the best players playing against each other and you’re sharing a dressing room with past and present brilliant players.”

England will play six more games in the shortest format of the game ahead of the World Cup. But some of the players, including Buttler, will be having a decent practice during the IPL.

Describing the same, Buttler further added, “It is a place where you can learn so much, learn a lot about yourself and looking ahead to the T20 World Cup in the not-too-distant future, the IPL is a great platform to prepare at the highest level.”

Along with Ben Stokes and Tom Curran, Buttler will be joining the Rajasthan Royals dug-out. Stokes hasn’t been at his best when it comes to his stats in the IPL. This time around, he would look to count himself in and help the Royals to their second title since the inaugural one back in 2008.
