Posted on 25th Jul 2022 by rohit kumar

In the second ODI between India and West Indies, Axar Patel played a brilliant inning. Axar scored 64 not out off 35 balls and gave victory to Team India. Patel gave India victory by hitting a six in the last over, during which he broke some big records of legends like Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Shoaib Malik, but he missed out on breaking Kapil Dev's one-year-old record. In 1983, Kapil Dev hit fifty off 22 balls against West Indies, which is the fastest fifty for India against West Indies. Akshar hit fifty off 27 balls and became the second fastest batsman for India against West Indies.

 

 After the record for the fastest 50 against West Indies, Axar Patel has become the second Indian player to make 50 runs in 27 balls against the West Indies.

 

Kapil Dev made this record in 1983

 

Kapil Dev, the former captain of the Indian cricket team, scored the fastest fifty in 1983 while batting against the West Indies. Kapil Dev had scored 50 runs in just 22 balls. Kapil Dev's record has not been broken by any Indian batsman till now. After Kapil Dev, the name of Axar Patel has come as the fastest 50 run-scorer.

 

Axar Patel emerged as the star of India's victory

 

West Indies had given India a target of 312 runs. In response, Team India was in trouble, but Axar Patel gave victory to Team India based on his innings. India thus took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.
