Patel reached this milestone during India's second T20I against Afghanistan in Indore on Sunday. In the match, Axar continued his good form with the ball, taking 2/17 in his quota of four overs. He took the wickets of skipper Ibrahim Zadran and Gulbadin Naib, who was looking dangerous after scoring a half-century. Now in his T20 career, Axar has 200 wickets at an average of 27.95 and an economy rate of 6.97. His best bowling figures are 4/21.
Following his side's six-wicket win over Afghanistan in the first T20I, Indian all-rounder Shivam Dube said that batting at number four was pressurising for him but still stuck to his style of cricket. Dube celebrated his comeback to Indian team in style as an unbeaten half-century and a wicket helped India secure a six-wicket win over Afghanistan in the first T20I in Mohali on Thursday.
Following his side's six-wicket loss to India in the first T20I, Afghanistan skipper Ibrahim Zadran said that his side was at least 15 runs short and that the side has to improve its fielding too. A half-century by Shivam Dube and a cameo by Jitesh Sharma helped India secure a six-wicket win over Afghanistan in the first T20I of the three-match series at Mohali on Thursday.
Team India will be taking on Afghanistan in the first T20I of the three-match series on Thursday in Mohali. The hosts will be led by skipper Rohit Sharma, who is making his comeback in the shortest format.

Apart from them, wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson has also been named in the squad while star pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj have been rested. Team India will be putting its best foot forward as this series will be preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup, which will kick-start in June.
