Axar Patel and Jitesh Sharma Persuade Captain for DRS as Matt Short Falls in 4th T20I
Team India’s all-rounder Axar Patel and wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma convinced captain Suryakumar Yadav to request a DRS review after Australian opener Matt Short was trapped in front during the fifth over of the fourth T20I at Carrara Oval, Gold Coast.
The on-field umpire’s initial decision of not out was overturned, giving India their first breakthrough. Standing in for Travis Head, Short had started strongly, striking Arshdeep Singh for three boundaries in the third over, while Mitchell Marsh struggled for timing.
At 35 for no loss after four overs, Suryakumar Yadav introduced spin from both ends. Axar Patel maintained tight control, conceding just two runs from his first four deliveries. Attempting to apply pressure, Short tried a sweep but missed the ball entirely.
Jitesh Sharma signaled that the ball had hit in line with the stumps, and Axar Patel agreed. They approached the captain, who opted for the review with seconds remaining.
Ball tracking confirmed three reds, meaning a successful DRS for India and the dismissal of Matt Short for 25 runs.
