After DC’s Innings, Axar Patel’s:
During the mid-innings show, Axar Patel reflected on the significance of his innings, especially amid the fall of wickets. He emphasized the atmosphere on the field and described his mindset during the crucial phase of the game. Patel highlighted the importance of staying composed and focused amidst the pressure, underscoring the mental fortitude required to deliver under challenging circumstances.
Axar Patel said, “I think it’s phenomenal effort. They’re fantastic finishers (on Pant and Stubbs), that’s what we talked about when we were in the middle. My role was to take on the three spinners, the talk was that we should take the partnership as deep as possible, the ball wasn’t coming onto the bat, was a slow pitch. The mindset is very important, you can’t think about playing off a bowler, the mindset was to be attacking, take the single and twos on offer and keep rotating the strike. We thought 170-180 would be a good score, so this (224 should be enough to win the match).”
