India National Cricket Team star all-rounder Axar Patel stole the spotlight with an incredible catch to dismiss Rashid Khan in the second T20I against the Afghanistan National Cricket Team at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday (September 15).
Axar might have picked up only one wicket in the second T20I, but he managed to take a stunning diving catch to dismiss dangerous Afghanistan batter Rashid Khan in Delhi. Earlier, Shreyas Iyer creates T20I history with amazing toss record in 2nd T20I vs Afghanistan.
Axar Patel steals the show with sensational catch against Afghanistan
Nitish Kumar Reddy got the big breakthrough on the first ball of the final over of Afghanistan’s innings. Rashid tried to hit across the line but failed to time the shot properly, sending the ball high towards deep square leg.
Axar Patel immediately ran to his left and covered a lot of ground before putting in a full-length dive. He managed to get his hands under the ball just inches above the ground, completing a sensational full-length diving catch to dismiss Rashid.
His incredible efforts ended Rashid’s attacking knock of 28 off 16 balls, including three fours and one six, but it was Axar’s superb fielding efforts that stole all the limelight at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
A terrific catch at the boundary 🫡
