India vs Australia 2017, 5th ODI: 5 reasons why India won at Nagpur

#3. Axar Patel’s spell

Axar Patel had a brilliant day with the ball

Axar Patel was pretty disappointing in the last game as he conceded 66 runs with the ball and scored only 5 with the bat. However, today, he made up for that with his brilliant bowling. The 23-year-old landed the ball in the right areas, baffling the Aussie batsmen in the process.

Patel took his first wicket when he dismissed the dangerous David Warner who looked well-settled at 53. He then dismissed Peter Handscomb before bowling out Travis Head. He eventually ended with figures of 3/38 from his 10 overs.

Axar's spell, particularly his dismissal of David Warner, is one of the key reasons behind India’s victory.
