‘Feels great to be back among the runs,’ Buttler beamed after the game. ‘My form dipped over recent months, but helping the team secure victory makes it all worthwhile.’

The Englishman revealed how stepping away from the game proved therapeutic. ‘The break allowed me to think clearly and rebuild. I’ve spent these weeks fine-tuning my stance and fundamentals,’ he shared.

Admitting to minor technical flaws, Buttler said they distorted his ball-tracking. ‘If you can’t read the ball right from the bowler’s hand, you’re in trouble. I’ve been hyper-focused on pre-release cues and backing my judgment. With 15 years in the game, I know my game inside out.’

A shoutout went to Matthew Hayden, whose no-nonsense guidance cut through the noise. ‘In the first sessions, he pointed out I wasn’t tracking well. Legends like him simplify things brilliantly. His aura ensures you pay attention—time with him was gold.’

Buttler’s resurgence comes at a perfect time for Gujarat Titans, injecting firepower into their top order. This performance signals the end of a lean patch, setting the stage for more explosive innings ahead.
