Axar Patel has THESE qualities
Rohit Sharma held a press conference just before the T20 series against Australia. He said that ‘we needed an all-rounder player because Jadeja’s exit was a big blow for us. Axar Patel was always a part of our plan. They are similar players. So when Jadeja was out, apart from Axar, we didn’t see any better option. We were very clear that Patel could do that work for us.”
Rohit Sharma has told the specialty of Axar Patel. He said that if you have seen the West Indies series recently, then Akshar had won the match single-handedly while batting brilliantly. Apart from this, he can bowl in all three phases. That powerplay, middle overs and maybe an over you can bowl to him in the death overs as well.
