Twitter reacts to ‘golden-arm’ Axar sending Root back after a failed sweep
600+ runs have come in the last three Tests for Joe Root and a major part of his runs have come via his favourite sweep shot. However, Axar Patel, in his debut Test spun the ball a long way off the dust to send back the dangerous Joe Root after his attempt at a failed sweep shot.
Big success in Test debut
