Earlier We Had Jadeja And Axar Is Filling That Void Well: Gavaskar
T20 World Cup: India legend Sunil Gavaskar praised Axar Patel for his outstanding fielding effort against England in the T20 World Cup semifinal, and noted that India previously relied on Ravindra Jadeja for such brilliance in the field, but Axar has stepped up impressively and is filling that role well with his sharp reflexes.
After Sanju Samson led the charge to take India to 253/7, England’s chase looked on course, powered by a breathtaking century from Jacob Bethell. But Axar’s fielding interventions repeatedly halted the visitors’ momentum at crucial moments.
The first moment of magic came early in the innings when Jasprit Bumrah deceived Harry Brook with a slower delivery. The England captain miscued the shot high over the covers, and Axar sprinted back and launched forward in a perfectly timed dive, clutching a spectacular catch just inches above the turf.
