England’s charismatic batter Jos Buttler has credited the Indian Premier League (IPL) for his batting exploits in the opening ODI against The Netherlands, saying he arrived for the series in “good touch” with a “licence to attack.”

Buttler smashed 14 maximums and seven boundaries as he scored an unbeaten 162 off 70 deliveries at a strike rate of 231.42 to guide England to a record score of 498-4 in 50 overs.
