The milestone came during The Hundred 2025 season in a clash against the Northern Superchargers, reaffirming his reputation as one of the finest modern-day keepers in the shortest format.
Buttler Reaches Rare Milestone
The 34-year-old has been a consistent performer with both bat and gloves across formats, but his achievement behind the stumps now places him among an elite group of wicket-keepers who have left an indelible mark on T20 cricket. With his 200th catch, Buttler joined the company of legends like MS Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik, and Quinton de Kock, all of whom have set benchmarks for wicket-keeping excellence.
