Hyderabad: Axar Patel, who was amazing in batting and bowling in the first Test match against England team, saved the confidence of captain Rohit Sharma.
India's dominance continues in the first Test match against England. While England were all out for 246 runs on the first day, India scored 421 runs for the loss of 7 wickets at the end of the second day. Through this, the Indian team is on the field with a lead of 175 runs.
Jadeja of the Indian team is in the field with 81 runs and Axar Patel with 35 runs. If the batting of the Indian team continues on the 3rd day too, it is seen that the Indian team will move towards an innings victory. During the toss of this match, Indian captain Rohit Sharma has chosen Axar Patel as the 3rd spinner.
It is because of his batting skills. In the last Test series played at home in Australia, Axar Patel scored runs whenever he got a chance to bat. He had said that they have chosen Axar Patel instead of Kuldeep Yadav. However, Axar Patel was featured as the number 9 player in the batting line-up of the Indian team.
Many people teased Axar Patel saying that he would bat better and should not be fielded as the 9th batsman. Akshar Patel, who took the wickets of Bairstow and Ben Fox in the bowling, was excellent yesterday along with Jadeja.
He once again proved that he is a batsman with 35 runs in 62 balls including a six and 5 fours. Axar Patel, who has batted in 19 innings so far, has scored 548 runs including 4 fifties at a batting average of 39.14. The number 9 batting average for a batting average in international cricket has surprised the fans.
