Hardik Pandya Opens Up On Giving Axar Patel 20th Over In The First T20I Against Sri Lanka

By Rishabh Gautam January 04, 2023 • 12:36 PM View: 1292

An edge-of-the-seat last-ball thriller was witnessed in a full-house Wankhede on Tuesday (January 3rd). Hosts team India defeated the Asian champions and visitors Sri Lanka by mere 2 runs to go 1-0 up in the 3-match T20I series. After the match, Indian captain Hardik Pandya shed light on why Axar Patel was given the final over to defend just 13 runs.

Indian T20I captain Hardik Pandya opened up on the decision which shocked the fans and experts alike as Axar Patel was given the responsibility to bowl the last over despite only 13 runs in the bank. Axar is known to deliver straight deliveries and Chamika Karunaratne would have easily dispatched a couple of big hits to seal the match.
