New Delhi. To win a war on the cricket field, sometimes one has to make such a strategy for which your opponent is not ready. Sometimes thinking out of the box, what can benefit the team, you will understand by seeing the analysis of the first ODI. A similar masterstroke was also seen on the ground of Nagpur which surprised the English team.
Leg spinner Adil Rashid and left arm spinner Betle Middle broke such a break by Team India’s think tank which changed the picture of the match. After Shreyas Iyer’s dismissal, when the England team was celebrating, then a batsman stepped on the field, which the English captain was surprised to see. Akshar Patel, who was promoted by K. Rahul, Hardik Pandya and Jadeja, was Akshar Patel
Patel beat up English bowlers
When Shreyas Iyer was dismissed with a half -century on the score of 113, the England team felt that they could come back in the match, only then the idea came out of the thinking of the captain and the coach that made the match in favor of India. The 6 -foot 3 -inch Akshar Patel sent to bat at number five, whose batting made India’s victory easier. When Akshar came to bat, leg -spinner Adil Rashid and left arm spinner Bethle were bowling in good rhythms because both were right -handed batsmen in front. The letters came to spoil the line of English spinners and they did it for which the team management sent them. The length of the spinners also deteriorated because the letters were taking good advantage of their rich. Akshar scored 52 runs from just 47 balls which included a six and 6 fours.
Great partnership, England was heavy
When Akshar came to bat after getting promotion, the team was in trouble losing 3 wickets in 16 overs and vice -captain Shubman Gill was at the crease. Both of them started playing carefully and kept targeting the spinners along with the strike rotating so that the runrate was maintained. The two batsmen shared a 108 -run partnership off 107 balls which proved to be decisive in the match. Later, seeing the way the wicket fell, it felt that the runs that Akshar scored were so important.
