It is Indian Premier League (IPL) season, and the T20 drama has hit a fever pitch. After 32 matches in the 2022 edition, three centuries have been scored - two by Rajasthan Royals (RR) Jos Buttler and one by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper KL Rahul. Shubman Gill, Faf du Plessis, Shivam Dube, and David Miller have come close, reaching the 90s. Meanwhile, recently former England captain Michael Vaughan sparked a new debate when he claimed that Buttler is the best T20 batter in the world. He made the observation after the England batter smacked 103 off 61 balls against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). While Buttler’s knock was a special one, without doubt, Rahul, Babar Azam, and Mohammad Rizwan fans did not agree with the former England skipper’s claim. In the wake of Vaughan’s statement, we try and compare how the four T20 superstars compare against each other.
