The local boy Axar Patel has taken to Test cricket like a fish to the water as he just couldn't stop taking wickets in the ongoing four-match series against England. Patel starred for the hosts as Team India bundled out England for just 112 in the first innings of the third Test match at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Patel accounted for the wickets of Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, Zak Crawley, Ben Foakes, Jofra Archer and Stuart Broad. England didn't recover from that blow, local boy Axar Patel pegged them again dismissing Jonny Bairstow for another duck as England were reduced to 27/2. Ravichandran Ashwin removed Ollie Pope for just one, Axar Patel in the next over took the onus on him to get rid of Ben Stokes.
