#1 Jos Buttler
He is arguably the most menacing hitter in T20 cricket at the moment. Jos Buttler was a middle-order batsman for England over the years, but his IPL exploits at the top for Rajasthan Royals has got him his promotion in the English batting lineup in the shortest form of the game.
Buttler has played some stunning knocks as an opening batsman for Royals in IPL 2018 and continued the same for England. Buttler also holds the record for the fastest hundred by an England batsman in ODI Cricket.
The 27-year-old can play all around the wicket and has no particular weakness. He has demonstrated in IPL that he improved a lot when it comes to batting against the spinners. With a lot of batting friendly pitches in England, no score is beyond the reach of Jos Buttler.
