The Australian captain Mitchell Marsh was dismissed by Indian left-arm spinner Axar Patel during their T20 World Cup match in St. Lucia on Monday, June 24. Patel shared details of his amazing catch. One of the game’s key events was Marsh’s wicket, which helped the Men in Blue win by a margin of 24 runs.
India set a lofty goal of 206, but when Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head were playing well, Australia seemed set to chase it. Axar made a spectacular one-handed catch that inspired the Men in Blue just when they needed it.
After the game, Axar Patel spoke with ICC and said that he lost his balance and wasn’t entirely sure he had taken the catch.
“Mere haath mein jo aawaz aayi hai uske baad mereko kuch pata nahi tha (The ball made a sound as it hit my palm and after that, I didn’t know that I had taken the catch).”

During India’s Super 8 encounter against Australia in St Lucia on Monday, June 24, Axar Patel produced a fantastic attempt along the boundary rope, entering the contenders for the T20 World Cup catch of 2024.
The Delhi Capitals star’s one-handed catch stunned the cricketing world, including the on-air pundits, as he helped India make a crucial breakthrough in a tense contest at the Darren Sammy International Cricket Stadium.
When Mitchell Marsh smacked a half-tracker from Kuldeep Yadav with force, Axar Patel, positioned at the deep mid-wicket boundary, timed his dive to perfection.
The ball continued to roll forward at a certain speed until Axar used his feeble hand to catch it out of the air. To Marsh’s dismay, who was thinking he might make a fast fifty, Axar threw his right hand up in the air and grabbed the ball.
India beat Australia by 24 runs in their last Super Eight match in St Lucia to advance to the T20 World Cup 2024 semi-finals.
