As anticipation continues to build for the much-awaited ODI World Cup 2023 set to take place in India, cricket enthusiasts around the globe are eagerly awaiting the clash of titans on the pitch. With the iconic Indian pitches and world-class talent in the fray, the excitement among cricket aficionados is palpable.
In the midst of this fervor, cricket experts have been lending their insights on team strategies, player performances, and potential standout individuals for the tournament. The latest luminary to join this discourse is none other than South African cricket legend, Jacques Kallis. With an illustrious career in the sport, Kallis has now turned his attention to predicting the highest run-scorer for the forthcoming tournament.
Kallis has placed his bet on England’s charismatic captain, Jos Buttler, to clinch the honor of the highest run-scorer in the ODI World Cup 2023. The former all-rounder attributes Buttler’s success to his remarkable adaptability to the Indian playing conditions. He firmly believes that the England skipper’s prowess will come to the fore, making him a standout performer for his team.
Speaking in a video shared by the International Cricket Council (ICC), Kallis expressed his thoughts on Buttler’s potential, stating, “I think Jos Buttler will be the leading run-scorer. An outside call, but I fancy him in those conditions. Along with England having a good World Cup, I think, um, he’s going to be the one guy that stands up.”
With England gunning to defend their World Cup title, Buttler’s role as both a player and captain gains significance. Beyond his leadership responsibilities, Buttler’s explosive batting style and exceptional skills have consistently contributed to England’s cricketing triumphs. Notably, his pivotal role in securing England’s victory at the T20 World Cup last year underscores his remarkable ability to perform under pressure.
Buttler’s cricketing prowess is undeniable. Spanning 165 One Day Internationals (ODIs), he has amassed an impressive total of 4647 runs, flaunting an average of 41 and a striking strike rate nearing 118. His remarkable record includes 11 centuries and 24 half-centuries, which stand as a testament to his consistency and capability to turn matches in his team’s favor.
As the world awaits the commencement of the ODI World Cup 2023, all eyes will undoubtedly be on Jos Buttler to see if Jacques Kallis’ prediction comes to fruition and if the England skipper can indeed emerge as the highest run-scorer in what promises to be a thrilling cricketing spectacle in India.
