Kolkata, April 14\u0964<\/strong> England wicket-keeper batsman Jos Buttler, who smashed a quick-fire 22 ball 41 in Mumbai Indians' victory here over the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) says he felt naked running without his keeping gloves on while fielding.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Parthiv Patel was the man behind the stumps for the defending champions on Wednesday night while Buttler had to field. MI restricted the hosts for 187\/5 and then chased it down with six wickets to spare.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"I felt naked running without my gloves on. But I have fielded before, so after sometime it was okay," Buttler told the media at the post-match conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Buttler also credited his captain Rohit Sharma for having a calming effect on him as the duo put on 66 for the fourth wicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"It's great to have Rohit at the other end. He's a very calm character. He had everything under control, and the way he was playing he obviously had a lot of confidence that he will be there till the end and win the game," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"That obviously rubbed off on me that he was in such good form and was so calm, I think that got the adrenaline going. It really settled me down."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Only 10 days earlier, Buttler had a heartbreak here at the venue where his country lost the World Twenty20 final against West Indies but he insisted he was happy to be back here playing in the IPL.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Thanks for reminding me (laughs). It's nice to come back and win (the IPL match). Obviously it was a huge disappointment to lose the World T20," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"But here we were determined to bounce back well after the first game (against Pune), that was a fantastic run chase."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
