Jos Buttler is fast becoming one of the best captains to have ever led England in white-ball cricket. To add more to his captaincy, it was under his leadership, England won the 20-20 World Cup 2022 and it remains to see if the team would repeat the same in the upcoming 50-over World Cup to be played in India in 2023.
MS Dhoni, on the other hand, is vastly considered the best white-ball captain in India and notably, it was under his captaincy, India won all major World events in limited overs format. As things stand, we decided to handpick three records of Dhoni that Buttler can break in the coming days.
Let us take a look at three records of Dhoni that the Three Lions skipper can break:
1) More than one 20-20 World Cup trophy

When India bowed out of the 2007 50-over World Cup in the group stage, Dhoni was handed over the captaincy and was tasked to lead a fresh team for the inaugural edition of the 20-20 World Cup in the same year. The Ranchi-born eventually led the team to victory against Pakistan in the finals and it remains the only 20-20 World Cup trophy for Dhoni.
However, with age under his belt, Buttler, who won the 20-20 World Cup 2022, can go on to win the next edition of the 20-20 World Cup in 2024 as the captain of the England team and eventually can break Dhoni’s record by winning the trophy twice.
