Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal made an epic comeback with his very popular ‘Chahal TV’, as he is known for sharing some hilarious moments with his teammates and pulls their legs. This time Chahal had with him Axar Patel, the match winner from the second ODI against West Indies, and Avesh Khan, the debutant of the second ODI. It was memorable as those two played a crucial role in India getting over the line.
As for Axar Patel, he won the player of the match award for his unbeaten knock of 35-ball 64* runs as India clinched a close win in a nail-biting thriller. In the video shared by the BCCI on Twitter, Chahal asked Patel about the final over, where the all-rounder hit a humungous six and finished off the game in style by chasing down the target of 312 runs, with a couple o balls to spare, thereby registering India’s highest successful run chase in West Indies.

In his quirky style, Chahal Asked, “Bapu, a six in the last over. I bit all my nails sitting outside (dugout) because the pressure was so high. I wasn’t under this much pressure even during my wedding.” Axar Patel replied: “Our very own Avesh Bhaiya (brother) used his brain and planned some things as he told me (on the crease) ‘Bro, see he is done with his quota of 10 overs, and the remaining three bowlers are also done with their respective 10 overs. There still will be just one remaining in the end’.”
While Avesh Khan said, “I built a very crucial partnership with my partner (Patel) and I had fun batting. He told me ‘you hit now, there’s nothing to worry at all, and I was like, okay I’ll hit now.”

In a hilarious manner, Yuzvendra Chahal showered praises on Patel’s knock that led the team to clinch the series and said: “I had fun watching your innings, and very rarely have I seen such an innings being played by a player. Watching you bat I remembered my good old days when I used to play like this.”
Replying to that, Axar Patel said, “That’s what I thought. If I lose my wicket then Chahal bhai will have to come in early and handle all the pressure. So I thought not to trouble Chahal Bhai and do the job myself.”
