While the rest of India D’s batting lineup seemed determined to compete in the “fastest to the pavilion” challenge, Axar Patel had other plans. Stranded at 76/8, Patel thought, “Why not make this interesting?” and proceeded to blast 86 runs like it was a highlight reel. He peppered the boundaries, casually smacked a couple of sixes, and turned what looked like a disaster into something that at least resembled a cricket score.
But Axar wasn’t done. Oh no. Picking up the ball, he figured he might as well clean up the mess his teammates had left behind, grabbing two quick wickets just for fun. India C looked stunned, probably asking themselves, “Does this guy ever stop?” It was Axar’s world, and everyone else was just playing catch-up.The star performer of the Indian Cricket team at the T20 WC 2024 continues to show his caliber.
