"India has done wonders in the West Indies, With the brilliant batting from another guy in making of a match finisher Axar Patel, what a gem of an innings what a gem of a cricketer he is, and from where he comes, it is the same place from where lion comes, and the boy Harshal Patel played in the lion style," Kaneria said on the Koo app.
"Superbly I was enjoying him playing anyone who has seen the match really they should have loved the game, immense cricket has happened, Sanju Samson made his fifty and he was playing superbly but unfortunately he was runout.
"He batted with mature and sensible style but it was 'Aksar Patel', Shreyas Iyer who batted superbly India was way behind when Axar came into bat he made it so easy he has done batting in composed style.
"Playing terrific innings, he scored the first half century of his career and played a brilliant 64 innings to give India a scintillating victory. And another series win under Shikhar Dhawan," the former Pakistan cricketer added.
Kaneria also Sanju Samson, who scored a fifty before Axar wreaked havoc to take India home.
"Surya Kumar Yadav who was looking very good in England played a very good century for India, he is looking pale in West Indies right now, Gujarat boy played his role at the time when batting was needed 35 balls run and wicket was not easy," said Kaneria
"Sanju Samson has that art which takes the batting for a long time, today he was unlucky, got out. He was playing to win the team. India won a good series, it was a very good series, West Indies got loose because they don't have the same temper, they don't have the same bowling as Siraj bowls," he added.
