Indian skipper Hardik Pandya revealed at the presentation ceremony why spinner Axar Patel bowled the final over in the first T20I against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium.
“We might lose a game here and there, but that’s okay. I want to put this team through adversity because it will help us in big games. We are very good at bilaterals, and this is how we will challenge ourselves. To be honest, all of the young guns got us out of this mess today “Pandya elaborated. Pandya-led India defeated Sri Lanka by 2 runs in the final over of the three-match T20I series, with spinner Axar defending 13 runs in the final over.
