Umran Malik, Shivam Mavi sparkle; Axar seals last-over thriller against Sri Lanka

Axar Patel grabbed the stumps and teed off before he was lost in an army of blue shirts piling excitedly on him. Just moments ago, he looked frazzled, when Chamika Karunaratne had heaved him for a six that had reduced the target to just five off three balls. But Axar would leak just two more runs to help India clinch the first of the three-match T20I series by two runs, a slow-burning thriller that caught fire at the end. No matter what, it’s the end that is always remembered, the last over tattooed forever in your mind, irrespective of how good the start was or how middling the middle overs were. Axar, creditably, was at the end, during India’s batting as well as bowling. His 20-ball 31 runs, and the 68-run stand with Deepak Hooda, propelled India to a competitive 162; his smart bowlin...
