Gujarat Titans assistant coach Aashish Kapoor remains optimistic about Jos Buttler’s form despite recent struggles. Kapoor believes that Buttler, a seasoned player, is close to hitting top form with just one standout performance. Buttler faced criticism after a lackluster T20 World Cup 2026 and a slow start in IPL 2026, but Kapoor backs him to bounce back strongly.
Kapoor emphasized Buttler’s talent and resilience, comparing his current phase to challenges faced by legendary players like Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli in the past. He highlighted Buttler’s determination to excel and expressed confidence in his ability to make a comeback soon.
Despite his recent setbacks, Buttler’s track record in white-ball cricket is impressive. He holds the record for the most T20I runs for England and was a key player for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025. As Gujarat Titans prepare to face Rajasthan Royals, all eyes will be on Buttler to deliver a strong performance.
In the ongoing IPL 2026, Buttler has the opportunity to regain his form and solidify his position in England’s T20 squad. Kapoor suggested that a standout innings could be the catalyst for Buttler to turn his fortunes around. With the tournament still in its early stages, there is ample time for Buttler to showcase his prowess and make a significant impact.
As Buttler gears up for crucial matches ahead, a successful IPL campaign could not only boost his confidence but also enhance his standing in the cricketing world. Kapoor’s belief in Buttler’s potential highlights the importance of perseverance and resilience in the face of challenges in professional sports.
