Jos Buttler. If we are talking about making a splash in the shortest format of white ball cricket i.e. T20 cricket, then this name alone is enough. When Butler is raining with the bat, even the best bowlers shy away from bowling to him. And, a beautiful scene of why this is so was seen in the second T20 against West Indies. What did Jos Buttler not do in this match? Played captaincy innings. It rained rapid runs. Hit fours and also six sixes one after the other. But, the stopper of this show was that long six by Butler, in front of which even the stadium became small.
The second match of the 5 T20 match series between England and host West Indies was being played in Bridgetown. In the match, West Indies batted first and scored 158 runs in 20 overs. In reply, captain Jos Buttler took up the responsibility of handling the innings for the England team which was chasing the target of 159 runs after the opening pair did not work.
Butler did not keep us waiting long after coming to the crease and started showing the audience his style for which he is world famous. Playing fearlessly, Butler completed his 24th T20 International half-century in 32 balls and then took the innings forward to 83 runs in 45 balls. A total of 9 fours and 6 sixes came from his bat.
Jos Buttler hit his first six in the match on the fourth ball of the sixth over. But the second six of his innings that he hit on the third ball of the 9th over was amazing. That six went so high, so long that even the stadium seemed small for it. Butler had hit this six against West Indies spinner Moti.

After hitting Butler's bat, that six flew in the air and landed directly on the roof of the stadium. And, then he took a turn outside the stadium from there. If you are not able to guess the distance of this six after watching the video, then let us tell you. This six of Butler was 115 meters long. After this Butler hit 4 more sixes,
Thanks to this explosive innings of Butler, the England team was successful in defeating the West Indies for the second consecutive T20. England won the match by 7 wickets.
