I think everything I learn from Buttler. I try to see how he practises. I knew I can take on a few bowlers.""Some day you see the ball very well. I play my shots and express myself, I had that confidence. I kept telling myself if it's a loose ball I will punish it. I will try to score runs," Jaiswal set the tone in the very first over, smashing left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed for five boundaries."When I started, I thought to watch out but first two balls got four.
