A lion-hearted move from the skipper, Hardik Pandya, to hand the final over of the innings to Axar Patel has already set the tone for his full-time leadership stint as Indian T20I captain. Team India won the contest at Wankhede Stadium by 2 runs as Axar defended 13 runs in the last six deliveries.
Ahead in the game during India’s innings, Axar Patel came in handy along with Deepak Hooda, who stitched a 68-run stand in just 36 deliveries. Both the batters joined hands when India were reeling at a score of 94 runs in the loss of five wickets. The all-rounders tormented the Lankan bowlers and took India’s total to 162 runs in 20 overs.
