What did Jos Buttler say?

Believe me, this was the real key today. I was struggling for rhythm. Sometimes you get frustrated and start questioning yourself. I told myself it was okay. Stay in the game and achieve the rhythm you need. Just try to stay calm. You get to see many interesting things during IPL.

The way Dhoni and Kohli play till the end and I also tried to do the same. Sangakkara has told me this a lot. There is always a time when things change. The worst thing is that you don’t fight and give away your wicket yourself. Sangakkara said that just stand on the wicket and the momentum will change at any moment. It’s been a big part of my game for the last few years.
