The 28-year-old laced his innings with three fours and five sixes. His five sixes were the most by an Indian batsman in an ODI batting at No.7 or lower, breaking MS Dhoni’s record. His fifth maximum came in the final over, depositing a full-toss straight over long off when India needed six from three balls.
Speaking after the match, Patel said that it was a special moment for him having scored his maiden fifty. The 28-year-old added that he was pleased with his performance and added that the IPL experience helped him seal the deal for his side.
He said, “I think this is a special one. It came at a crucial time and also helped the team to win the series. We have done the same in the IPL. We just needed to remain calm and keep the intensity up. I was playing an ODI after close to 5 years. I would want to continue performing like this for my team.”
