Axar Patel has climbed the bowlers’ rankings after recording a three-for-17 total that propelled him from 57th to 33rd place.
Following a 30-ball 61, Australia’s Player of the Match Cameron Green entered the top 100, but fast bowler Josh Hazlewood, who claimed two wickets during the match, still holds the top spot among bowlers.
In the Mohali T20I, India lost its captain Rohit Sharma (11) and Virat Kohli (2) for paltry sums after Australia gave them the opportunity to bat first. At 35/2, the Men in Blue were now having trouble. KL Then, with a 68-run partnership, Rahul (55) and Suryakumar Yadav (46) stabilised the innings. The innings was then declared at 208/6 after Hardik Pandya’s magnificent 71* off just 30 balls, which included seven fours and five sixes.
