Patel tcame in the middle of a crisis when India was tumbling with the bat and were reeling at 139/7. He stepped with the bat yet again as he stitched 100 plus runs partnership with R Ashwin, who scored 37 runs.
Patel scored 74 runs and made sure that India reach close to Australia’s total in the first innings. His knock helped India reach the total of 262 runs, which at one seemed impossible. He scored 9 fours and 3 sixes in his innings and made sure that he kept the momentum towards his side.
Patel was the highest run getter of the innings with his 74-run knock. He was the lone batter from the side who crossed fifty run mark. His innings have put India in a comfortable position and has made match evenly poised. Notably, he also became the leading run scorer of the series with 158 runs to his name.
