Jos Buttler Joins Elite T20 List

Buttler’s achievement places him in the top tier of global T20 batters. By reaching fifty today, he became only the fifth player in the history of the format to record 100 scores of 50 or more. He joins the likes of Chris Gayle (110), David Warner (113), Virat Kohli (109), and Babar Azam (103) in a list defined by longevity and high-level consistency.

The milestone was reached during the power play of Gujarat's LSG vs GT IPL 2026 chase of 165. Buttler, who moved to the Titans for the 2026 season, has been a central figure in their top-order strategy, providing the aggressive starts that have become his trademark in both international and franchise cricket. You can find Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans match scorecard here.

T20 Career

The 100 fifty-plus scores are a culmination of Buttler's performances across the IPL, the SA20, the Vitality Blast, and his international career with England. Since his T20 debut, the wicketkeeper-batter has evolved from a middle-order finisher into one of the most feared opening batsmen in the world.

His ability to maintain a strike rate above 140 while consistently crossing the fifty-run mark is cited by analysts as his primary strength. In the 2026 IPL season alone, Buttler has already recorded three scores of fifty or more, proving to be a vital acquisition for the Gujarat franchise.
