Axar asked Jadeja, Sir, meri to bowl aa nahi rahi hai. Axar ko bowling nahi dena hai isliye aisa ball dal rahe ho kya?, which means Jadeja, are you bowling like this so that Axar doesn’t get a chance to bowl?. 

Laughing at the question Jadeja answered, They (Australia) prefer playing the sweep and reverse sweep. My effort was to bowl stump to stump. If they miss and the ball stays low, then the ball is bound to hit the stumps. That’s what happened today when five balls hit the stumps."

Axar Patel also contributed necessary runs with the bat and was Team India's top scorer in the first innings. Axar scored 74 runs off 115 balls with 9 fours and 3 sixes. 

Coming back to the match, the Indian spin duo R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja bowling was so effective that they managed to pick up 16 of the total 20 Aussie wickets of the match. Also, it took the duo only one session to wrap up the Australia batting on day 3. 

With the win Team India have put one step forward to qualify for the World Test Championship final and now their main focus will be on winning the third Test and qualify for the World Test Championship final. 

If we talk about Australia now they are under a lot of pressure as their main aim would be to avoid 4-0 whitewash in the series and avoid losing a chance of playing the World Test Championship final.
