Axar Patel full of praise for Shubman Gill’s exploits

India’s endeavour to push themselves out of their comfort zone by batting first in the inconsequential third ODI at the Harare Sports Club almost backfired on Monday as Sikandar Raza slammed a 95-ball 115. The hosts couldn’t outgun India’s total of 289, falling short by 13 runs, but Axar Patel admitted that Raza did give the visitors a scare. The foundation for the victory though was established by Shubhman Gill’s maiden ODI century. His run of form, according to the left-arm spinner, is the biggest takeway for India from the series.
