World Cup 2019: Top 5 batsmen in the most runs battle

#3 Jos Buttler - England

Buttler's ability to strike the ball to all parts of the ground makes him one of the best batsmen of all time

A technically gifted batsman, Jos Buttler has already made an impact with his aggressive brand of batting. After just a 16-ball 18 against South Africa in the opening game of the competition, Buttler was back in his element against Pakistan.

The wicket-keeper batsman walked in with England in a spot of bother at 86-3 from 14.5 overs in their chase of 349 runs. With a unique array of cricketing shots, Buttler gave Pakistan quite a scare as he smashed his way to a 76-ball 103 which included nine fours and two sixes but as unfortunate to finish on the losing side.

With momentum on his side, Buttler was pushed up the order against Bangladesh and came in during the 32nd over, with England looking to accelerate their scoring rate in order to apply scoreboard pressure on Bangladesh.

Buttler smoked the ball to all parts of the ground as he notched up a 44-ball 64 with two fours and four sixes, batting through pain as his knock helped his side put up a massive 386-6 on the board.

From three matches, Buttler has 185 runs with an average of 61.67 and a strike rate of 136.03, making him an important part of England's batting order.
