"We want to find ways to put pressure on the opposition with the bat"- England captain Jos Buttler ahead of 1st ODI vs India 2025

England captain Jos Buttler recently highlighted the need to exert more pressure with the bat to achieve success. At a press conference on the eve of the opening match of the ODI series against India, he said (via India Today):

"We want to find ways to put pressure on the opposition with the bat. You've got to take wickets, I think, and it's crucial you see how, if you let guys bat for a period of time, they can go on to hurt you. So, we'll be desperate to try and find ways of taking wickets.

"It's always about execution, really. Whether you want to be aggressive, conservative, or measured, you've still got to go out there, execute it, and play it well."

On the importance of playing an aggressive brand of cricket in ODIs, Buttler added:

"If I look back at that World Cup, the two teams in the final were playing a really positive and aggressive brand of cricket. You think of the way Travis Head took that final on with the bat, so you see it can be successful. Obviously, Rohit takes a lot of credit for the way he's come out and played himself as a captain and pushed India more towards that style of cricket, so absolutely, we want to be exactly the same."
