Jos Buttler on Sam Curran's valiant 95-run knock vs India: He has shades of MS Dhoni

England stand-in skipper Jos Buttler saw shades of the ''great finisher'' MS Dhoni in Sam Curran's valiant knock on Sunday as the young all-rounder finished with 95 not out with England falling agonizingly short of the winning total by 7 runs

England stand-in captain Jos Buttler said that Sam Curran had shades of former India captain MS Dhoni in his valiant knock of 95 runs against India in the series decider on Sunday in Pune. Curran waged a lone battle in the end but it was not enough as India restricted England to 322 in 50 overs. The defeat not only denied England a first ODI series win in India in 36 years but also means they end the tour without a victory in any of the three formats, having lost the Tests 3-1 and Twenty20s 3-2. With all eyes will now be on the IPL beginning on April 9, Buttler believes Curran, who is in the Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings, will have a great opportunity to talk to the former India captain.
