Axar Patel scored a useful 92 runs and took 9 wickets in the T20 World Cup.
Everyone was quite surprised when Axar Patel was selected in the playing XI of T20 World Cup 2024 along with Ravindra Jadeja. Axar was given preference in the team despite the presence of veteran spinners like Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal.
However, as the tournament progressed, Akshar Patel proved his worth and emerged as India’s biggest match winner in the tournament. The 30-year-old all-rounder was promoted to bat several times and also got a chance to play in the powerplay. But Akshar never complained about this, and whenever and wherever he got a chance, he performed. Also, how can anyone forget Akshar’s performance in the final.
When India was at a score of 34/3 against South Africa, he played a useful innings of 47 runs in 31 balls and contributed significantly to Team India’s historic victory by taking 1 wicket. Now former Indian cricketer and Punjab Kings spin bowling coach Sunil Joshi is very impressed with this performance of Akshar Patel. Joshi says that Akshar is becoming smarter as a cricketer.
Axar is getting smarter as a cricketer: Sunil Joshi
Let us tell you that regarding the performance of Akshar Patel, Sunil Joshi said in The Telegraph – Even on the New York wicket, where there was not enough help for the spinners, Akshar bowled quite well there. He is someone who always tries to change his pace, adjust his length and understand the wicket. He is becoming more smart as a cricketer.
Sunil further said- Akshar is a smart cricketer, whether he bats at his place or not, he can adjust himself. As he is becoming senior in the team, he is becoming better and faster.
AUS vs IND 2024-25: Umpire Simon Taufel made special comment on KL Rahul’s controversial DRS out in Perth Test
There is a special discussion in the cricket world regarding Rahul’s dismissal. Australia vs India, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) India is facing Australia in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. In the match, stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah has won the toss and decided to bat first, which has not proved right for the team. However, there is a lot of discussion in the cricket world about the way experienced batsman KL Rahul was out in the match. After defending a lot of the ball, Rahul was slowly building his innings, but he was unfortunately given out in the 23rd over of the Indian innings. Mitchell Starc came to bowl this over of the Indian innings for Australia and in this over, he bowled the second ball of length to Rahul, which went very close to the bat. During this, other players including the bowler appealed, but the onfield umpire did not give the player out. But during this, captain Pat Cummins took DRS review and the third umpire gave Rahul out. But in UltraEdge it was clearly seen that the ball had hit the pad saved from the bat. On the other hand, now experienced umpire Simon Taufel has reacted to Rahul’s DRS out. Simon Taufel reacts to Rahul’s DRS out Let us tell you that Simon Taufel, while discussing with 7 Cricket about Rahul’s dismissal in the Perth Test, said – We saw in that side on shot that there was a spike on the RTS and the bat was away from the pad, in other words the bat. The lower part did not reach the pad. So rotating it in its natural course, you would have seen the second spike (on the sneako, to indicate the bat hitting the pad) come in more than if it had been rotated all the way. So former cricketer Matthew Hayden, who was commenting during this time, said – We are assuming that (Snikko) could be the outer edge of the bat, but it cannot be so. Well, the umpire’s decision is the final decision, and the player cannot protest against it. Due to this decision of the umpire, Rahul had to return to the pavilion after being out on the score of 26 runs in 74 balls.
