Axar Patel fails in Auckland, but makes T20 history for India with 300 wickets

Axar Patel achieved a significant individual milestone during the fourth T20I in Auckland, becoming the first Indian player to record 3,000 runs and 300 wickets in the format. Despite this personal feat, India fell to an 87-run loss against New Zealand, who posted a massive 259-run total fueled by Glenn Phillips and Michael Bracewell.

Axar struggled during the match, conceding 43 runs in his three overs and scoring only seven runs with the bat. India's chase faltered early against Jacob Duffy, and the team ultimately finished at 172 for nine, ending their hopes of a series sweep while maintaining a 3-1 lead.
