Harare:
Awarded man-of-the-match on his Twenty20 International (T20I) debut against Zimbabwe on Friday, India's left-arm spinner Axar Patel on Friday said he bowled to his strengths and was rewarded with a three-wicket haul.
"I bowled to my strengths, cut the pace off the ball, so batsmen can't hit me. So I was rewarded. I like the dukes ball that has more pronounced seam to grip," Axar said at the post match presentation ceremony.
Earlier with the bat, Murali Vijay (34 off 19 balls), Rahane (33 off 32 balls) and Robin UIthappa (39 off 35 balls) helped India post a commendable total.
