Career story

Jos Buttler career, earnings and personal life

Who is Jos Buttler?

Jos Buttler is an English international wicketkeeper-batter known for high-impact white-ball scoring and a long career across Test, ODI and T20I cricket. ECB identifies him as a right-handed wicketkeeper. Lancashire records his full pathway from Somerset to the county, while official competition sites connect his current franchise roles with Gujarat Titans, Manchester Super Giants and Durban's Super Giants.

StumpScope uses one canonical Jos Buttler profile across every team. A change from Rajasthan Royals to Gujarat, or from Paarl Royals to Durban, does not create a new person or restart his statistics. His 8 September 1990 birth date, Taunton birthplace, England role and official team identities are cross-checked before a membership links to this page. That prevents duplicate biographies and keeps scorecards attached to one career.

Jos Buttler age, birthplace and playing role

Buttler was born in Taunton, Somerset, on 8 September 1990 and was 35 on 11 August 2026. ECB, Lancashire, IPL and SA20 sources agree on the date and wicketkeeper-batter role. He bats right-handed and has frequently moved between opening and middle-order positions depending on format and team balance.

Wicketkeeping figures need careful reading. A combined fielding entry such as 240 catches and 39 stumpings in ODIs describes dismissals made behind the stumps and in the field; it is not a batting statistic. He has sometimes played as a specialist batter while another keeper took the gloves, so an appearance total should not automatically be treated as a wicketkeeping appearance total. Scorecards remain the authority for who kept wicket in each match.

Somerset beginnings and the move to Lancashire

Buttler developed at Somerset and made his first-class debut for the county against Lancashire in 2009. He moved to Lancashire before the 2014 season to improve his opportunity for Test selection, then made his England Test debut that summer. Lancashire's current profile lists 57 Tests and notes that his last Test appearance came early in 2022.

The county relationship has continued around England and franchise commitments. Lancashire won the 2015 T20 Blast with Buttler in the squad, and he was named the club's T20 player of the year in 2017 after scoring 451 runs from twelve appearances. In 2026 he signed a three-year Blast extension through 2028, confirming that the county link remains current rather than historical decoration.

England debuts and the fastest ODI century

Buttler made his T20I debut in 2011 and ODI debut in 2012. His early international role grew from late-innings power and wicketkeeping into a flexible top-order position. In Dubai in November 2015, he made England's fastest ODI century, reaching the mark in 46 balls against Pakistan. Lancashire still identifies the innings as the national record.

A fast hundred measures balls to the century, not the complete innings or career strike rate. Buttler later scored hundreds at different speeds and in different roles. ECB notes that at one point he owned England's three fastest ODI hundreds, a record of repeat acceleration rather than one isolated knock. Dated career tables provide the wider sample needed to judge consistency. Match situation matters too: a late assault after a stable platform asks different questions from opening against a new ball, even when both innings produce the same hundred milestone.

150 in Grenada and an ODI high score of 162 not out

Against West Indies in Grenada in February 2019, Buttler scored 150 from 77 balls with thirteen fours and twelve sixes. ICC described it as the second-fastest 150 in ODI history at the time, and England's 24 sixes set a team record. The innings helped England reach 418 for six before a competitive West Indies chase ended at 389.

His later ODI high score became 162 not out against the Netherlands in 2022. Wikipedia's table dated 19 July 2026 lists 5,578 ODI runs from 202 matches, eleven hundreds and 29 fifties. The 150 and 162 are separate innings within that career total. They are not added again when reporting cumulative runs.

2019 World Cup final: 59 and the last-ball run-out

Buttler played a direct role in England's first men's ODI World Cup title. In the 2019 final at Lord's, he made 59 and added 110 with Ben Stokes after England fell to 86 for four while chasing 242. He and Stokes then batted in the Super Over, setting New Zealand a target of sixteen.

The Super Over also finished level. On the final delivery, Jason Roy's throw reached Buttler, who broke the stumps with Martin Guptill short while attempting a second run. Under the tournament rules then in force, England won on boundary count. The title remains a team achievement, but ICC's match report verifies Buttler's innings, partnership, Super Over contribution and decisive wicketkeeping action.

Test career and the 152 high score

Buttler played 57 Tests between 2014 and early 2022. Wikipedia's 19 July 2026 table lists 2,907 runs at 31.94, with two hundreds, eighteen fifties and a high score of 152. The same table lists 153 catches and one stumping. These figures are a dated secondary snapshot consistent with Lancashire's 57-match record.

His Test sample should not be merged with his white-ball record. First-class totals include Tests and county matches, so adding 2,907 Test runs to 5,888 first-class runs would double count the international innings. Buttler's reputation is led by limited-overs cricket, but the 57 Tests remain a substantial career rather than a brief experiment.

T20I hundred and the 2021 World Cup

Buttler scored his first T20I hundred against Sri Lanka at the 2021 Men's T20 World Cup in Sharjah. ICC's annual report records 269 runs from six innings at an average of 89.66 and strike rate of 151.12, including 101 not out. England reached the semi-finals, where New Zealand ended its campaign.

The tournament confirmed that Buttler could combine opening responsibility with the finishing skills associated with his earlier role. It also made him one of England's few men's players with hundreds in Tests, ODIs and T20Is. A century in all three formats is a milestone, but each remains within its format-specific career table and must not be presented as three entries in one combined average.

England captain and the 2022 T20 World Cup title

ECB appointed Buttler white-ball captain in June 2022 after Eoin Morgan's retirement. In his first global tournament in the role, England won the 2022 Men's T20 World Cup in Australia. Buttler scored 225 runs across six matches, including an unbeaten 80 in the ten-wicket semi-final victory over India, according to Lancashire's official career review.

England beat Pakistan by five wickets in the final, and ICC selected Buttler as captain, wicketkeeper and opener in its tournament team. The trophy made him the third England men's captain to win an ICC tournament. Captaincy is a role rather than a permanent player identity; his later resignation does not erase the title or turn subsequent appearances into a different career.

Stepping down as England captain in 2025

Buttler announced that he would leave the white-ball captaincy after England's final 2025 Champions Trophy match. ECB records 96 matches as captain by that point: 45 ODIs and 51 T20Is. The decision followed group-stage elimination, while he remained available for international selection. Harry Brook became the new white-ball captain in April 2025.

That distinction is important for current copy. Buttler is a former England captain but an active England wicketkeeper-batter, with ECB video pages marking his 200th ODI cap in July 2026. A profile that still calls him the current captain would be out of date; a profile that treats his resignation as retirement would also be wrong.

IPL career: Mumbai, Rajasthan and 863 runs in 2022

Buttler debuted in the IPL with Mumbai Indians in 2016 and was part of its 2017 title season. His defining run came with Rajasthan Royals. In 2018 he made five consecutive fifty-plus scores, and in 2022 he equalled the then single-season record of four hundreds, scored 863 runs and won the Orange Cap as Rajasthan reached the final.

The official Gujarat profile lists his overall IPL record after 2026 as 138 matches, 4,646 runs, seven hundreds and 28 fifties at a strike rate of 149.73. Those totals already include his Mumbai, Rajasthan and Gujarat seasons. Adding the 863, 538 or 526 season figures to 4,646 would count the same runs twice.

Gujarat Titans ₹15.75 crore move and IPL 2026

Gujarat Titans bought Buttler for ₹15.75 crore at the 2025 mega auction, the highest price for an overseas player at that auction according to his official IPL profile. He scored 538 runs in fourteen matches during his first Gujarat season, with five fifties and a strike rate of 163.03 as the team reached the playoffs.

In IPL 2026, Gujarat's official table records 526 runs from seventeen matches at 37.57 and a strike rate of 152.46, with four fifties, 25 catches and one stumping. Gujarat reached the final and finished runner-up. The 2026 row is protected as current official data, so an older Wikipedia table cannot replace it during API refresh.

SA20, The Hundred and Lancashire in 2026

SA20 records Buttler with Durban's Super Giants in 2026 after two seasons with Paarl Royals. He scored 170 runs in nine matches for Durban, including 97, and the competition's career records list 969 SA20 runs through 2026. Those are SA20 competition figures, not separate from his broader career T20 total.

The Hundred lists Buttler with Manchester Super Giants on a £350,000 salary for 2026. Lancashire separately confirms a T20-only county contract through 2028. These memberships can overlap because they occupy different windows. They should all link to the same profile, while a match page links only the team and competition relevant to that fixture.

Jos Buttler salary, net worth and family review

The documented contract figures are ₹15.75 crore from the 2025 IPL auction and £350,000 for The Hundred in 2026. They describe competition contracts, not total annual income after tax, agent fees, endorsements or availability adjustments. ECB also lists Buttler on a central contract, but the reviewed announcement does not provide a personal take-home calculation.

No audited public source reviewed for this page establishes Jos Buttler's net worth, so StumpScope does not repeat online estimates. Official team biographies acknowledge that he has a family, but this profile does not use the names or lives of private relatives as search material. No relationship speculation is added. No portrait is used because exact identity, provenance and reuse permission were not all established.
