The captain finally has a smile on his face after a long time.
His team lost their first three games.
A smile returned to the face of one of England's greatest ever players after a 47 run win over Welsh Fire on Tuesday evening.
England failed to win a home white-ball series for the first time in four years because of the caveat.
The rearranged fifth Test against India left the white-ball team facing 12 games in 25 days, which limited the time for any meaningful practice between matches.
It's clear to see why some felt Buttler had been dealt a difficult hand with the retirement of Morgan and the rest of the team.
Buttler's below-par performances hindered his team's chances when he joined the other side.
Sean Abbott of Australia recorded figures of 1-110 across their first three matches before impressing with 4-8 against Welsh Fire.
But, naturally, as is the cut-throat nature of professional sport, Buttler has still felt the need to ask for patience on his captaincy journey.
Morgan lost 11 of his first 18 one-day internationals as captain.
Steven Finn was part of the team that Buttler captained for the first two games of the season.
Finn said it was unnecessary. He's the best choice for the job.
He will be an outstanding captain when he puts his own stamp on the team.
England's schedule is ridiculous. He was given the captaincy without warning and had to deal with that.
I'm very confident that he will be the right person to do the job because of the stupid speculation.
Buttler joked that Russell might have dropped a catch because his hands were in his pockets.
Finn shared a dressing room with England and the Vampires and they all had the same vibe.
He is one of the best white-ball players in the world. Finn said his view of the game was outstanding.
The way he thinks about the game is different to everyone else.
When Heather Knight took over as England women's captain, she faced the same challenge as Buttler.
As a new captain you want to find your own way, put your own stance on it and be authentic, but it can take a little bit of time.
As a captain, finding your voice is important.
When he does speak, I think people listen.
Being clear about where you want the team to go is what it is about.
If you're not authentic people don't buy it, that's one of the things I've found most important.
Knight, who was England's captain when they beat India to win the World Cup, said that it is important to remain level and consistent with your message and firm in the way you want to play.
Buttler's "innovative" leadership has impressed her, and she thinks captaining in The Hundred is difficult.
She said that the fact that he is trying out not keeping while captaining Manchester is a really interesting one.
He's always trying new shots and being creative with how he goes about things. He will be different and innovative when he has a bit of confidence.
