Gujarat Titans star Jos Buttler has etched his name further into English cricket history by becoming the country's most-capped international player across all formats. Buttler achieved the milestone during the second T20I against Sri Lanka in Pallekele, marking his 402nd appearance for the Three Lions, thereby surpassing legendary speedster James Anderson, who finished his career with 401 caps.
Buttler’s remarkable career, which began in August 2011, includes 57 Tests, 199 ODIs, and 146 T20Is. Beyond his longevity, the wicketkeeper-batter remains England's leading run-scorer in the shortest format and famously led the team to the T20 World Cup title in 2022. Buttler is set to feature in the upcoming T20 World Cup solely as a wicketkeeper-batter, having relinquished the captaincy last year.
This record highlights the immense value Buttler brings to the international stage, a quality the Gujarat Titans will rely on heavily in the upcoming IPL season. His continued form was evident in the first T20I against Sri Lanka, where he contributed a quickfire 17 off 10 balls in a winning effort.
