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!
