In a captivating display of spin bowling, Axar Patel delivered a peach of a delivery that left England's Jonny Bairstow bewildered on the ongoing Day 1 of the India vs. England Test match in Hyderabad. Known affectionately as 'Bapu,' Axar lived up to his reputation as a spin maestro, leaving Bairstow with no answers.

Watch the video:

The delivery in question, bowled in the 32nd over, was a classic example of Axar's skill and finesse. A full-length delivery drifted in, pitching on the leg stump and expertly turning away from Bairstow. The English batter, attempting to play on the front foot, found himself bamboozled as the ball beat his outside edge, crashing into the top of the off stump. The stumps were sent cartwheeling, and Bairstow had to bite the dust.

Axar Patel, who seems to relish bowling against the English side, celebrated with gusto, joined by the jubilant Indian fielders who were hungry for wickets. The dismissal showcased the challenges that batters face when confronting Axar's unpredictable spin. His ability to extract turn from an odd ball makes it a daunting task for batsmen to distinguish between the deliveries that will turn and those that will hold their line.

As the match unfolds, Axar Patel's impressive performance promises to be a key factor in India's quest for dominance on their home turf.
