India defeated Sri Lanka by 43 runs in the first T20 match.
When India was in a precarious position against South Africa in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024, Axar Patel came to bat at number 4 for India. Axar handled the Indian innings by scoring 47 runs in 31 balls.
However, even after batting like this, he has not been able to ensure his batting position in the top order of Team India. In the first T20 match against Sri Lanka, Akshar Patel came to bat at number 8, and he played a brilliant innings of 10* runs in 5 balls, due to which Team India was successful in scoring 213 runs against Sri Lanka.
After playing a quick innings of 10 runs, Akshar also bowled brilliantly and took the wickets of the dangerous Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Perera, playing a key role in the team’s 43-run victory.
On the other hand, now a big statement has come from Axar Patel on batting in such a situation. Axar says that when he bats in such a pressure situation, he gets confidence.
Akshar Patel gave a big statement
Let us tell you that after India’s first T20 match against Sri Lanka, Akshar Patel said as quoted by Cricbuzz- When you play cricket consistently for India and when you perform well under pressure, you get confidence. And every time you get confidence, you always learn from it.
It’s not that you will always perform well in pressure situations, you may also fail. But those situations teach you that I can do things differently and it has taught me a lot especially in the last year.
On the other hand, if we tell you about this T20 series, then the Indian team has taken a 1-0 lead by winning the first match of the T20 series. So now the second T20 match between the two teams will be played today on 28th July in Pallekele.
