[Watch] Axar Patel's Magical Delivery Ends SL Batter's Resistance In First ODI

Axar Patel has certainly taken the mantle from senior pro, Ravindra Jadeja in white-ball cricket. The left-arm spinner has been instrumental in India's white-ball run in the last one year, and once again showcased his skills in the first ODI vs Sri Lanka.

The R Premadasa Stadium surface was helping the spinners as the batters found it tough to get going once the ball got old. Axar took advantage of it and scalped the crucial wicket of Sadeera Samarawickrama.

Janith Liyanage's resistances ended by Axar

However, the best was yet to come as he got the wicket of Janith Liyanage, who showed great resistance against the Indian bowlers.

He bowled a fuller length ball, which spun sharply to take the outside-edge as Liyanage looks to flick it on the leg side. The ball flew to KL Rahul, who failed to grab it as it deflected him and Rohit Sharma in the slips took a simple catch.

Sri Lankan batters surrendered against the Indian bowlers, as the slowness of the surface worked in India's favour. The wicket carnage was started by Mohammed Siraj, and then it was taken care by Shivam Dube and the spinners as the Lankan Lions find themselves in dire situation.
