 India vs West Indies: Axar Patel breaks MS Dhoni's 17-year-old batting record with his blitz

Port of Spain, July 25 Axar Patel's blitzkrieg with the club helped Team India pull off a sensational two- gate palm over West Indies in the alternate one- day transnational at Port of Spain on Sunday( July 24). Patel who slammed his ODI career's maiden half- century- held on to his jitters in the death overs and guided the Men In Blue to a series- deciding palm in Trinidad and Tobago. 

 

 Axar stole the show with his explosive fur trouble as India chased down 312 for the loss of eight lattices in the49.4 overs. The left- handed all- rounder remained unbeaten on 64 out just 35 deliveries and finished the game for his platoon with a outside, commodity which former India captain MS Dhoni used to do. Dhoni has finished several games for Team India with a six and Axar emulated him with his shot over long- out against Kyle Mayers. 

Team India claim sensational palm 

 platoon India needed 8 off the final over and the equation came down to six off three balls, but Patel who has played several poignant knocks in the IPL and in the domestic circuit- showed his experience and countenance to take his platoon home in a tense contest. 

 

 He stepped into the middle to club at number seven and pounded five sixes and three boundaries in his knock. He indented up his demoiselle ODI fifty off just 27 deliveries. 

 Axar surpasses MSD 

 With his blitz against the West Indies, Patel indeed went on to break Dhoni's 17- time-old record of hitting most sixes by an Indian batsman atNo. 7 or lower in a successful ODI chase. 

The former India wicketkeeper- batsman had in 2005 hit three outsides against Zimbabwe. Former India each- rounder Yusuf Pathan also equalled Dhoni's record doubly in 2011 but it was Patel- whom the Jharkhand cricketer nicknamed' Bapu'- who surpassed him. 

 

 Axar named player of the match 

 Patel- who was also the most provident bowler in the match with his numbers of 9-1-40-1- was arbitrated the player of the match for his each-round trouble. 

 While speaking during thepost-match donation, the Gujarat cricketer said,' I suppose this is a special bone

 . It came at a pivotal time and also helped the platoon to win the series. We've done the same in the IPL. We just demanded to remain calm and keep the intensity up. I was playing an ODI after close to 5 times. I would want to continue performing like this for my platoon.' 

Team India stuns West Indies, again 

 Chasing 312 in the alternate one- dayer, the Indians were in a spot of bother as they had lost three lattices( Shikhar Dhawan 13, Shubman Gill 43, and Suryakumar Yadav 9) inside 18 overs. still, the 99- run stage between Shreyas Iyer( 63 off 71) and Sanju Samson( 54 off 51) revived the callers. Samson slammed his demoiselle ODI fifty and hit some trademark inside- out outsides over the redundant cover region. 

 

 When Samson was run out for 54 at a pivotal stage, Deepak Hooda( 33) and Patel participated a precious cooperation. Patel, also, kept suturing hookups with Shardul Thakur and Avesh Khan and kept the excursionists in the quest. He finished the game for his platoon and played killjoy to West Indies' stopgap of squaring off the series. 

 Shai Hope's remarkable century in his 100th ODI appearance for West Indies and captain Nicholas Pooran's 74 went in vain as the callers took an untouchable 2- 0 lead in the three- match series. 

 

 It was India's 12th successive bilateral ODI series win over Windies, the most by any platoon in the world.
