The Indian bowlers were asked about which was their favourite wicket from Day 1. Axar’s delivery to dismiss Bairstow merged as the winner.

“I think Axar Patel to Jonny Bairstow was a fantastic delivery. He got this weird angle coming from a wide arc. The batters are looking to protect their pads. I think Jonny came across it a little bit and it straightened enough to hit the top of off. That’s the dream for any bowler,” Ashwin said giving his opinion.

Axar also got Jadeja and Bumrah’s votes.

“I will go with Axar Patel (getting Bairstow) because that ball has changed the momentum of the innings,” Jadeja said.

Bumrah said: “I think Axar took an important wicket because at that time, they were going through a good partnership. It was a peach of delivery. A typical spinner’s delivery.”

Axar went with Bumrah’s delivery which cleaned up Stokes.

“I pick Bumrah’s wicket of Stokes. I saw it in the replay also, he had bowled two slower deliveries and then bowled a quick outswinger. I think that was a very good delivery, he was trying to step out and hit and Bumrah outplayed him,” said Axar.
