India secured a win in the series opener but lost the second match, leaving the five-game T20I contest evenly poised heading into the Dharamsala fixture. Patel missed the third game on Sunday, December 14; however, India delivered an all-round performance to secure the victory and take the lead in the ongoing series.
There is also some uncertainty around Jasprit Bumrah. He returned home on December 14 due to personal reasons, and the board has not yet confirmed whether he will be available for the next match.
Axar Patel’s Impact Against South Africa and India’s Replacement Options
Axar Patel made a strong start to the T20I series against South Africa with important contributions in the opening match. He bowled a tight spell, taking two wickets for just seven runs as South Africa were dismissed for 74. India went on to win the match by 101 runs.
With Axar now unavailable, India are yet to name a replacement. Washington Sundar is one of the options in the squad, although he does not provide the same left-arm spin. The team management will hope Axar recovers in time for the white-ball series against New Zealand starting on January 11.
