Aakash Chopra ki chinta: Axar ko No.3 bhejne ka kya reason?
Aakash Chopra ne India aur South Africa ke beech second T20I mein Axar Patel ko No. 3 par bhejne par sawal uthaya. Jab India 214 ka target chase kar raha tha, toh unhe top-order mein heavy artillery ki zaroorat thi, na ki Axar jaise cautious batsman ki. Gill ki golden duck ke baad Axar ne 21 runs banaye, jabki Shivam Dube ko khelne ka mauka hi nahi mila. Kya yeh batting blunder India ko samajh aayega?

In a cricket caper that had Team India scratching their heads, assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate bemoaned a bowling blunder in the second T20I against South Africa. The hosts watched as the Proteas racked up a whopping 213 runs, with Quinton de Kock smashing 90 off just 46 balls. With Arshdeep's 0-54 and nine wides, and Axar's No.3 adventure, India stumbled to 162, leaving Tilak's 62 as the lone bright spot.

Chopra ka sawaal: Axar ko No. 3 pe kyun bheja bhai?
Bhaiyon aur behnon, Aakash Chopra bhi hairaan hain ki Axar Patel ko No. 3 pe bhejne ka kya scene tha! India ko chahiye tha powerplay ka dhamaka, par Axar aaye 21 runs pe 21 balls khelne. Shubman Gill pehle hi over mein chale gaye, toh aisa lag raha tha jaise team ko chhutti mil gayi ho! Tilak Varma ne 62 runs banaye, par India 162 pe all out ho gayi, aur haar gaye 51 runs se. Kya drama hai yaar!

Arre bhai, Shaun Pollock ne India ke batting order par badi sawaal uthaya! T20I mein, India 51 runs se haar gaya, aur Axar ko No. 3 bhejna samajh nahi aaya! Tilak Varma toh 62 off 34 maar raha tha jab Axar sirf 21 off 21 bana paya. Ab series 1-1 hai, aur hum soch rahe hain, kya logic hai bhai, Champak Chacha bhi confuse ho jayenge!
