One of the most destructive white-ball batters in the history of the game, Jos Buttler (born September 8, 1990) has redefined the art of “360-degree” hitting. Known for his ability to manipulate field placements and clear the boundary with surgical precision, the England icon has successfully transitioned from a Rajasthan Royals legend to the premier wicketkeeper-batter for the Gujarat Titans (GT).
As of January 21, 2026, Buttler is in scorching form, currently representing Durban’s Super Giants (DSG) in the SA20 2026 season. He recently played a match-winning knock of 97 (52 balls)* against Pretoria Capitals on January 7. Following a massive ₹15.75 Crore move in 2025, he has been retained by Gujarat Titans for the IPL 2026 season.
Jos Buttler: Career Profile & 2026 Outlook
The Gujarat Titans Evolution (IPL 2025–26)
After a legendary seven-season stint with the Rajasthan Royals, Buttler moved to Gujarat Titans in 2025. He instantly became the “Engine Room” of the GT top order:
-
2025 Breakthrough: Buttler silenced any doubts about his transition by amassing 538 runs in 14 matches at a phenomenal average of 59.78 and a strike rate of 163.03.
-
The “Iyer-Buttler” Synergy: In the upcoming 2026 season, Buttler is set to partner with Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav (if paired) to form the league’s most terrifying top-order trio under the coaching of Ashish Nehra.
International Focus: The 2026 T20 World Cup
Following his decision to step down from England’s white-ball captaincy during the 2025 Champions Trophy, Buttler has played with a renewed “freedom.” He has been named in England’s 2026 T20 World Cup squad, captained by Harry Brook, where he will serve as the senior batting pillar and wicketkeeper in the tournament hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
The “Master of Innovation”
Buttler’s legacy is built on his versatility. Whether it’s his record-equaling four centuries in the 2022 season or his historic 124 off 64 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he remains the gold standard for T20 openers. His recent 97* in the SA20 (January 2026) proves that even at 35, his bat speed and scoop shots remain as lethal as ever.
