Top 5 Jos Buttler knocks in ODIs

#1 - 100*(83) against Australia at Sydney, 2018

Buttler propelled England to their maiden bilateral ODI series victory in Australia

Before the 2018 series, England had played three bilateral ODI series on Australian soil and lost convincingly on each occasion. Close on the heels of receiving a 0-4 hammering in the Ashes, the onus was on Eoin Morgan's vibrant white-ball lineup to buck the trend. Comfortable victories in Melbourne and Brisbane left the visitors on the precipice of history.

The potent Australian pace attack of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins rose to the occasion during the third ODI in Sydney. When talisman Joe Root was dismissed in the 23rd over, England were mired at 107/4.

At such a crucial juncture, Buttler served a batting masterclass which proved to be instrumental in sealing the series. He smashed 6 boundaries and 4 sixes in a clinical 83-ball century. Aided by Chris Woakes' pulsating cameo, the wicket-keeper batsman lifted his team past the 300-run mark. A collective bowling effort helped England obtain a narrow but momentous win.
