First ball, six. Axar Patel welcomed the Oman cricket team with a massive six. He took experienced spinner Aamir Kaleem for an over boundary on the first ball he faced during Match 12 of the ongoing India vs Oman match. 

India quickly revived from the early blow in the form of Shubman Gill, who lost his wicket against a jaffa from Shah Faisal. The early blow from Oman caught everyone on the ground by surprise. But Team India has enough firepower in their batting lineup. As it was expected before, the team management of India reshuffled their batting order for the match against Oman, as it had already turned into dead rubber, as India had already qualified for the Super 4s and Oman had been eliminated from the competition. 

After the departure of Shubman Gill, opener Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson stabilized the innings and opened the passage from where the run started to flow. The wicket looked a little bit challenging, so the batters, who walked into the crease fresh, needed to test and observe the first few balls. Sanson, who got the opportunity to bat for the first time in the tournament, smashed a well-controlled half century.

Instant reaction from Axar Patel stunned Oman cricket team 

When the foundation was set, with multiple batters yet to come from the bench, Axar Patel did not think twice about going big from the first ball he faced. Aamir Kaleem was one of the main men of Oman's lineup. Patel welcomed him with open arms for a huge six. The Team India all-rounder played an entertaining 26 off 13 with 3 boundaries and one over boundary. 

The only overboundary he hit was massive. The southpaw put down his knees against the left-arm spinner and swung the bat vertically for the six over the long-on area. The crowd in the gallery absolutely loved the instant reaction from Patel. Oman cricketers were stunned.
