Axar Patel took the prized scalp of Pakistan captain Agha Salman to help India dominate in the Asia Cup 2025 clash in Dubai on Sunday, September 14. The left-arm spinner dismissed Agha for just three runs off 12 balls as the Men in Blue reduced the opponents to 49/4 after 10 overs. It’s worth noting that the opposition skipper had no response to the quality Indian spinners, including Varun Chakaravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav.The dismissal came on the last delivery of the 10th over of Pakistan’s innings. Axar bowled a slower ball through the air outside off that landed on length, and Salman went for a sweep shot. All he managed was a thick edge as Abhishek Sharma took a comfortable catch towards square leg.Watch the video below:This was Axar Patel’s second wicket of the contest after dismissing swashbuckling batter Fakhar Zaman for 17 off 15.India are in a commanding position against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 clash; Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav strike twiceA clinical bowling display has put India on top of their Asia Cup 2025 match against Pakistan.
