In the second T20I match between India and Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on September 15, 2026, Indian all-rounder Axar Patel made a remarkable catch to dismiss Afghanistan's Rashid Khan. Rashid was batting aggressively and had scored 28 runs off 16 balls with three fours and a six before Axar ran to his left and executed a full-length diving catch to end his innings. This catch came off the first ball of the final over of Afghanistan's innings, helping restrict Afghanistan to 159/8. Alongside this, Nitish Kumar Reddy also had an impressive bowling performance taking key wickets including Rashid Khan's dismissal. In the batting chase, India comfortably won by seven wickets, with Sanju Samson leading the way with a score of 57. India finished their chase in 13.4 overs to seal the series. Despite Axar claiming only one wicket in the match, his exceptional fielding effort was the highlight of the game.
