Jos Buttler바카라s match-winning century against Kolkata Knight Riders highlights the need for professional cricketers to be elite athletes as well, said former Australian all-rounder Tom Moody after the Rajasthan batter smashed his second ton this IPL. (Full Coverage |More Cricket News)
Buttler (107 not out off 60 balls) fought his way through a slow start and rapidly rising asking rate to be there till the end for Rajasthan Royals, dwarfing Sunil Narine바카라s (109) century in the first half to hit the winning runs on the final ball.
바카라Well, he kept going because he's an elite athlete and it just shows, in today's world of T20 cricket or any form of cricket, you need to be an elite athlete. You can't just get away with just being a skilful player and that time has well and truly passed,바카라 Moody said in a Star Sports release.
Buttler, who missed Rajasthan바카라s previous game against Punjab Kings due to an injury, kept battling for the Royals despite running out of partners on a regular basis.
바카라He's an elite athlete, that's why he's still standing for that very last ball to hit the winning runs. (It is as) simple as that, he's coming back from an illness, he's managed to bounce back pretty quickly because he is strong and physically strong,바카라 Moody said.
바카라But he's also feeling mentally strong as well, given his history in the game but there's no hiding, in those conditions it's extremely tough and if you don't have the hard yards as an athlete and done the hard work 바카라 you can't put in performances like that,바카라 Moody added.
