IND vs AUS: WATCH Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin watch in DISBELIEF after two STUNNING catches by Renshaw & Cummins end BIG partnership, Check OUT
The Indian team was in a difficult situation when Patel came out to bat. They had lost four quick wickets and were struggling at 139/7. Patel showed great composure and played a responsible inning, stitching together a crucial partnership with spin-wizard Ravichandran Ashwin.
However, just when it looked like Patel would take the Indian team to a more competitive total, Pat Cummins produced a stunning catch on Todd Murphy’s ball. Axar was too eager to score runs and wipe out the lead. This was a full-length delivery on the off, Axar tries to slog it across but it goes straight to Cummins at mid-on. It went really hard and over Cummins shoulders, but judged perfectly. He just put his hands out in a general direction of the ball and plucked it off.

Ravichandran Ashwin, who is known for his lower-order heroics, also played a useful inning of 37 runs. He stitched together a crucial partnership with Axar Patel. However, Ashwin’s innings came to an end when Cummins bowled a delivery full onto the pads and had no real movement. Ashwin chips his glance towards square leg and Renshaw nicely shuffles to his right to complete a fine grab. Shades of the KL Rahul one from the first innings.
Matt Renshaw pulls off a KL Rahul to dismiss R Ashwin. Fabulous catch! But what a knock from Ashwin! Not only kept India alive in the game but also puts them in the driver’s seat. 👏
