VIDEO: Axar Patel's Stunning Relay Catch With Shivam Dube Sends Wankhede Into Frenzy During IND VS ENG T20 WC26 Semi-Final

Axar Patel displayed a moment of fielding brilliance during the IND VS ENG T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final on Thursday. With England plugging away at India's score, Patel sent the in-form Will Jacks packing. Jacks tried to clear the fence and Axar took the catch, before relaying it to Dube to avoid hitting the boundary cushions.

In the 14th over, Arshdeep Singh deployed a wide line plan to Will Jacks with Axar Patel and Shivam Dube on the boundary. The left-hander missed his line thrice, bowling three wides. Off the final delivery, Jacks got a toe end of his bat, trying to clear the fence over cover.

Axar came running towards the boundary and completed the catch. However, the Indian captain was off balance, and was likely to tumble into the fence. Patel to his credit, had the presence of mind, and relayed it to Shivam Dube, who completed a simple catch.
