Jos Buttler reflected on his outstanding hundred, citing the likes of Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni as examples. He stated that whenever he felt pessimistic thoughts creep in, he would remind himself of sports icons and how they never give up until they finish a task. The century was praised as Buttler’s finest IPL hundred as well.

“Today, maintaining faith was the true secret. I felt like I was having some rhythmic difficulties at times. I was really watching the golf, and I saw Max Holmes. I believe the exact opposite and dare to dream whenever the negative ideas start to creep in. That’s what gave me motivation.

There are moments when you feel irritated or self-conscious. I was trying to persuade myself to keep going, to be cool, and that it would all be good. You’ll get your rhythm back. Throughout the IPL, there have been several instances when bizarre things have occurred.

I was trying to emulate players like Dhoni and Kohli, who you’ve seen again in the IPL, by persevering through difficult situations and never giving up. I’ve heard Kumar Sangakkara say this a lot: there’s always a tipping moment. When you are not feeling your best, fighting it and trying to push the issue and give up your wicket is the worst thing you can do.

All he says to me is to remain still; eventually, you’ll find your rhythm, the momentum will shift, or you’ll start going after one stroke. For the last several years, trying to stick with it and not get in my own way has been a major component of my play.

(His best IPL performance?) In my opinion, yes. Jos Buttler said at the post-match presentation, “Anytime you’re not out at the end to see your team through, especially off the last ball, in a big run-chase, very satisfying.”
