Axar Patel’s batting beyond a footnote

When talk of the 2024 T20 World Cup final—which India won over South Africa—begins years from now, the highlights will surely include Virat Kohli's 76, Jasprit Bumrah's outstanding performance with the new and old ball, and Hardik Pandya's final over.



Notwithstanding these honors, Axar Patel made a critical remark that should not be disregarded.

After Axar lost three wickets for 34 runs in the PowerPlay, he was moved up to the circuit-breaker position. His 47 off of 31 balls proved to be the ideal counterpoint to Kohli's 76-ball effort.
