Watch: Axar Patel gets the Fielder of the Match award from the unsung hero of Team India
The bowling all-rounder of Indian cricket team Axar Patel wants the fielder of the match award after the victory of 24 runs by team India over Australia in the super-hit match of the on-going T20 World Cup 2024 on Monday. In the 9th over, after the 2nd inning, he took the catch of Mitchell Marsh with his non-dominant right hand and held the Indian cricket team in control of the match.
Kuldeep Yadav placed a length ball on the pads, and Marsh pulled it behind the square, where Axar made no mistake and took the catch.

The medal was presented by NuwanSeneviratne, who is a true dance specialist for the Indian team, someone that T. Dilip described as the unsung hero for the Indian cricket team.
