Akshar Patel hit a flurry of sixes in Duleep Trophy
While the star players of the Indian team proved to be flops in the Duleep Trophy, Akshar Patel played a strong innings. Not only this, playing from the other team, Sarfaraz Khan’s brother Mushir Khan also took charge of his team and played a half-century innings. Meanwhile, auditions are going on for selection in Team India for the India vs Bangladesh Test series. It will be very interesting to see whether the selection committee will make the selection keeping in mind the statistics of the Duleep Trophy or the team will be selected on the basis of name.
Akshar Patel played a brilliant innings of 86 runs
Let’s first talk about the match between Team C and D. From Team D, captain Shreyas Iyer was out for only 9 runs and Devdutt Padikkal was out without opening his account. At one point, the team’s score was 48 runs for six wickets. Then Axar Patel came to the crease. At first he played cautiously, but when he got into his rhythm, he set the stage on fire with his explosive batting. Axar Patel played a brilliant innings of 86 runs facing 118 balls. In this, he hit six fours and six sixes.
No runs were scored by any other batsman
Only five batsmen from Team D were able to cross the double-digit mark. Yush Dubey scored 10, Srikar Bharat 13, Saransh Jain 13 and Arshdeep Singh also scored 13 runs. That is, Akshar Patel was the top scorer of the team, although he got out before completing his half-century and returned to the pavilion. It was only because of Akshar Patel that his team was able to cross the score of 164 runs, otherwise the situation could have been even worse.
Musheer Khan also hit a half century
If we talk about team A and B, then on behalf of team B, captain Abhimanyu Easwaran could score only 13 runs, Yashasvi Jaiswal 30 and Rishabh Pant 7 runs. Sarfaraz Khan was also out after scoring nine runs. But Sarfaraz Khan’s brother Mushir Khan, who came to bat at number three, played well. He completed his half-century and continued batting even after that. No other batsman of the team was able to score runs.
