Jos Buttler, Joe Root
WI vs ENG 2nd ODI Match : The West Indies team, which could not qualify for the ICC World Cup 2023, is once again seen in the ODI field. A three-match ODI series is being played between England and West Indies, of which two matches have been played so far. West Indies surprised everyone by winning the first match, but in the very next match, England made a spectacular comeback and won the second match. Now the series will be decided from the third match. But even before this, England captain Jos Buttler has achieved a new feat. His new achievement is also being discussed because only four batsmen of England were able to reach this milestone, but now the fifth name of Jos Buttler has also been added.
