India all-rounder Axar Patel, who recovered and made his debut in the second Test in Chennai against England, made sure to grab the opportunity with both hands as he dismissed the visitor's skipper Joe Root.
The English captain who had scored a double ton in the first Test was sent back cheaply for 6 by the spinner. This marked Patel's maiden Test wicket.
Having Root as first Test victim must be really special as Patel looked all elated. The ball landed into one of those pits and it kicked up and turned away massively. Root, who was going again for the sweep, lost balance and offered a top edge to short fine leg. The field was perfectly set and it was a sitter for R Ashwin.
