Rohit Sharma continues to dominate in the BGT 2023. He maybe did not have the best of inning in the third match, but it was enough to register a lead in front of his name, and will be looking to capitalise on it in the fourth test and perhaps reclaim the most run scorer’s title.
Axar Patel continues to impress with the bat in hand. And has the bid to regain the spot of top scorer in BGT 2023. He remained not out in the first inning of the third test. Had any of the tailenders supported him he would have definitely topped the table yet again. But as things stand, Axar is on second position with 170 runs at an average of 52.
