After the match against KKR, Sanju Samson said that when Buttler is inside the crease as an opener, everyone sitting in the dugout knows that he will try his best to stay there till the 20th over. And, if they play 20 overs then no matter how big the target of runs is, it becomes dwarf in front of them. Butler fulfilled his captain's trust against KKR.

attack on master plan

Butler also accepted the words of coach Kumar Sangakkara, which he himself mentioned after the match. According to Butler, Sangakkara said that he just has to stay at the crease, he will find the pace in his batting himself. They also benefited from this.
