T20 World Cup: 'Plan Was To Force Them To Think Of Playing Some Other Shots', Reveals Axar
T20 World Cup: India all-rounder Axar Patel, who bowled an exuberant 3-23 spell in India's 68-run win over England in the second semifinal of the T20 World Cup, revealed that his plan was to make it difficult for the opponent, forcing them to think of playing some other shots, without doing anything extraordinary.
Captain Rohit Sharma's 57 from 39 balls coupled with Suryakumar Yadav's 47 from 36 allowed India to post 171/7 in 20 overs after being invited to bat first. In response, Axar and Kuldeep Yadav spun the web on England's batters and bundled them for 103 in 16.4 overs with both taking three wickets each.
The most significant blow came from Axar, who removed the England captain with his opening delivery. He then went on to dismiss Jonny Bairstow and Moeen with the first delivery of his second and third overs, respectively, before Kuldeep claimed three wickets of his own to completely derail England's chase.
