Ponting said, "My dangerman from the Rajasthan Royals is Jos Buttler, who I think has found himself at a position at the top of the order in T20 cricket. He's taking his game to another level. (He) obviously take the gloves as well."
"He's had a remarkable last few months with England. He has the confidence and the wickets here (in the UAE) will suit him. He scores against the new ball, he scores against the old ball and he scores 360 degrees around the wicket. So Jos Buttler is a very, very complete T20 batsman, certainly when he's opening the batting," he added.
