With Ravindra Jadeja on the verge of achieving full match fitness, the Indian team is banking heavily on newbie Axar Patel in the tri-series – involving Australia and England – to be the perfect foil for the opponents with his senior spin partner, Ravichandran Ashwin.
The 21-year-old may have played just nine matches for India, but the Indian team is completely confident of his ability to deliver at this level. “He is accurate and bowls a fine middle-leg line, which is not easy to hit for boundaries.”
“He pushes the ball hard to a batsman’s pad, from where you can steal ones and twos. It tough to hit him out of the park,” a source revealed to Drcricket7. Hope, Axar is able to keep his good work going till the time Jadeja joins the team.
