On Sunday, however, Axar’s three-wicket haul led the Men in Blue to a six-wicket victory at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
It’s a great feeling to perform well for the team and contribute to your team winning a series. You can’t express your emotions; you can only feel them, and I’m feeling them right now, Axar was quoted as saying to Suryakumar Yadav in a video posted on the official Twitter account of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
On Sunday, Axar took crucial wickets of opposition captain Aaron Finch, Josh Inglis, and Matthew Wade, who averages nearly 60 against India in T20Is. Glenn Maxwell was also run out with a sharp throw from short fine leg.
The home team lost the early wickets of KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma after being asked to chase down 187. From there, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav scored 63 and 69 runs, respectively, and shared a 104-run third-wicket stand.
India began the series with a loss, but quickly rebounded with victories, first at Nagpur’s VCA Stadium and then in Hyderabad.
