After a mix-up in the middle, Axar failed to make it to the other end in time and lost his wicket. On the first ball of the 19th over of India’s innings, Axar hit the ball to the right of the cover-point fielder, and Arshdeep convinced him to steal a single that was never there. Arshdeep Singh apologised to Axar Patel after a run-out that resulted in the latter’s dismissal during India’s third T20I match against West Indies in Indore on Sunday.
But Arshdeep castled him and removed Keemo Paul as well to ensure the contest ended in India’s favour, as they won by 14 runs and grabbed a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
I got you run out,” Arshdeep told BCCI after the match. Arshdeep also said he felt really good about the successful execution of tactics to remove West Indies captain Shai Hope early in the game, adding that getting rid of a quality batter of his calibre required meticulous preparation and inputs from the coaching staff. I am grateful to the coaches for working through the plan, and they told me that I can use this in the match. That thing got executed,” Arshdeep said.
“I would like to apologize to Axar bhai. Sorry, Axar bhai.
“Before the match, we had planned how to keep things tight to him and when you execute that plan in the match, it feels good when you get the result.
