South African legend Jacques Kallis believes Jos Buttler will be the highest run-getter in the upcoming World Cup, scheduled to be played in India.
Speaking to ICC, Kallis stated that he backed Buttler in Indian conditions and believes Buttler will stand out in the sub-continent.
"I think Jos Butler will be the leading run-scorer. An outside call, but I fancy him in those conditions. Along with England having a good World Cup, I think, um, me, he's going to be the one guy that stands up," said Kallis.
