Buttler, who played with Rohit at Mumbai Indians (MI), said he is an “effortless” cricketer and scores big runs.

“Rohit Sharma is an awesome player, effortless. I think quite a lot of Indian players have that awesome style. What I have noticed with Rohit is, I have obviously played with him few times for Mumbai (Indians), if he gets in, he goes on and makes big runs and affects the game, win games. He has scored four or five hundreds in the World Cup last year. In any T20 game, if he goes past 10, he is not out at the end of the game or at the end of the innings, 90 or 80,” Buttler said.
