India all-rounder Axar Patel is turning up the game on its head in the ongoing semi-final 2 of the T20 World Cup 2024 against England. The match between the Rohit Sharma-led side and the defending champions is underway at the Providence Stadium in Guyana.
After India posted a total of 171 runs on the board, Axar Patel made sure that he took his team off to a dream start with the ball. The all-rounder has stepped up big time for his team and put his team at the top of things in the ongoing semi-final against England.
Axar Patel drew the first blood for his team as he removed Jos Buttler first and after that, he didn’t look back as he then went on to remove Jonny Bairstow in the next over that he bowled. The all-rounder produced a peach of a delivery to send the batter packing.
Axar Patel bowled a full delivery that was just outside off. Jonny Bairstow didn’t get his feet close to the ball and fished at it with his hands, playing for the turn. The ball landed just outside off and just went on with the arm to hit off-stump and leave the bowler delighted.
But what caught the attention of many was the reaction of Virat Kohli after Jonny Bairstow got out. The India batter was at his aggressive best as he abused the batter as he walked back to the pavilion.
