Axar Patel walked out to bat after India National Cricket Team lost Shreyas Iyer, plays a fine hand for his team
Axar Patel walked out to bat after India National Cricket Team lost Shreyas Iyer (59). The Southpaw looked brilliant against the spinners as he, along with Shubman Gill, made sure that the England National Cricket Team bowlers didn’t get settled despite the ball spinning sharply on the surface.
Axar Patel was looking all set for a big innings but his stay at the crease was cut short by the brilliance of Adil Rashid. The England National Cricket Team leg-spinner came up with the magical ball to which the Indian all-rounder had no answers and saw his stumps getting shattered.
Adil Rashid bowled a tossed-up ball that was very wide. The ball spun in sharply after pitching and went through the gate of the batter on the drive. The spinner had brilliant control over the ball and deceived the batter to send him packing.
Shubman Gill, who was at the other end, couldn’t believe that the ball spun sharply and shattered Axar Patel’s stumps. He had a hand on his head as the all-rounder took the long walk back to the dressing room.
