Experienced spin bowling all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja's retirement from the T20 International format was considered a major blow for the team. Jadeja was not only superior because of his batting and bowling, but also for his electrifying presence on the field. Last night, when England was chasing a target of 254, Axar Patel took a stunning catch to dismiss England captain Harry Brook.
Against a slower cutter of Jasprit Bumrah, Brook tried to go over the cover, but failed to do so as his one arm missed the grip from the handle of the bat. The ball went high into the air.
"Axar's catch to dismiss Brook was unbelievable. Brook can take the game away and you have to grab every chance to get his wicket. That shows great cricketing intelligence", Gavaskar said on Star Sports.
Sunil Gavaskar observed that Patel's bowling has been improving every year
"We had Ravindra Jadeja before him and Axar is filling that void well. His bowling needs a little more polish. That will come with experience. His line, length, and speed are improving every year", Sunil Gavaskar said.
