India are currently playing a three-match T20I series at home against Afghanistan. The hosts sealed the series by winning the first two games in Mohali and Indore, respectively.
In the second T20I on Sunday, January 14, Axar Patel impressed with the ball, as he finished with excellent figures of 2/17 in his four overs at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. India went on to win the match by six wickets.
After Axar’s heroic performance, Suryakumar Yadav took a subtle jibe at the England cricket team. Ben Stokes and Co. are set to arrive in India later this month to play a five-match Test series. Congratulating Axar on his outing, Suryakumar cheekily remarked, “Ball to 12 din baad ghumni chahiye” (The ball should have spun after 12 days), accompanied by three laughing emojis.
