India’s spin bowling all-rounder Axar Patel returned to Durham to play for a warm-up match against County XI. He previously played for Durham during the 2018-19 County Championships.

Recently, the Durham Cricket Twitter handle posted a video of the all-rounder. Axar was involved in a bizarre caught and bowled dismissal during his last stint against Warwickshire. He bowled a full delivery pitched at leg stump to Ryan Sidebottom, the last man in for Warwickshire, who chipped in the ball onto the legside.

But the ball went on to hit the short-leg fielder and then popped back to Axar Patel, who completed the catch. Axar finished the innings with 7/54.

Watch the dismissal here:

Axar had a successful stint with Durham in the 2018-19 County Championships. He scored 95 on his debut and took 18 wickets in seven matches at an average of 13.05. In the recently concluded three-day warmup match against County XI, Axar managed to pick only one wicket – Liam Patterson-White on 33.

India’s Warm-up match ends in a draw

India batted first and score 311 before getting bowled out in the first innings. Wicket-keeper batsman KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja were the stars for India with the bat. Rahul scored a century and declared himself as retired out for 101, while Jadeja contributed 75 runs. Haseeb Hameed led the County XI batting line up and scored a hundred (112), before getting dismissed by Shardul Thakur. Umesh Yadav was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets in the innings.

In the second innings, India declared at 193/3, with Hanuma Vihari 43* and Shardul Thakur 6*. Cheteshwar Pujara came to open the innings along with Mayank Agarwal. The duo added 87 for the first wicket stand.

Ravindra Jadeja again performed brilliantly with the bat as he scored 51 off 77 balls before retiring out. The match ended in a draw with County select XI 31 at no loss.

The five-match Test series between India and England begins on August 4.
