Cricket comes second.. | Jos Buttler on Fatherhood, IPL, Dhoni & Virat | Karishma Mehta | EP 38

Описание: “I'm a very competitive person, always have been. No matter what I do, I need to be the best at it – I always want to win. I think that's always been my aim, to try and become the best player I can be, and compete against the best players in the world. So, whether I am playing for England, for Rajasthan Royals, or for other teams I represent, I try to do everything to make sure my team wins.

It’s in those situations that I get to test myself – playing against the best players in the highest-pressure situations. And it’s such a privilege to play with and against all these players who inspire me every day.”

Here’s a man whose skill on the cricket field is matched only by his character off it. Gentle, soft-spoken, and down-to-earth. Yet, passionate and fierce with a bat in his hand.

Jos has time and again enthralled us with his batting, his lightning-quick wicketkeeping, and his unwavering passion for the sport. And made us fall in love with the true gentleman of the game that he is.

From the rolling hills of Somerset to embarking on a journey that has taken him to the heights of the game, Jos’s journey is one to celebrate.

Let’s dig into it and come close to uncovering, “How the Hell Did He Do It?”
