Axar claimed that after studying the Pakistan match, he discovered that it was a peculiar game in which the batter had the upper hand, and that he needed to rapidly move past his disappointment.
The Indian team management has instructed Axar Patel to be mentally prepared since he may be expected to bat in the top six when necessary, despite the fact that Ravindra Jadeja’s void is difficult to replace. A left-handed batsman is essential because the top six batsmen for India are all right-handers, and Rishabh Pant is now out of the running. Axar was positioned at No. 5 in the match against Pakistan, however the strategy failed as he was outscored one to one.
“I was asked to go,” left-hander Axar, who did well against the Netherlands, told reporters in the mixed zone, “because they (Pakistan) had left-arm spinner Nawaz and leg-spinner Shadab.”Management has informed me that I could potentially be promoted to the middle innings because all six of our starting pitchers are right-handers, so I should be prepared for that. I’ve already been given that responsibility, and I excelled during warm-up matches “According to the Gujarat all-rounder. After being struck by Iftikhar Ahmed for three sixes in a nightmare over against Pakistan, Axar rebounded admirably against the minnows with a magnificent performance of 2/18 in 4 overs.
“The ball was coming and stopping because the ground was a little dry. Since the ball wasn’t particularly gripping, I was instructed to hit the deck hard because it was challenging to hit through the line. That was the strategy, “After the game, Axar spoke about how he and R Ashwin had contained the Dutch.
Axar claimed that after studying the Pakistan match, he discovered that it was a peculiar match in which the batter had the upper hand, and that he needed to rapidly move past his disappointment.
“Bounce is the major factor separating Australian and Indian wickets. In India, a batsman finds it difficult to rock backwards and handle the low bounce.
“The track doesn’t have much traction in Australia. Going backwards makes it easy to hit someone through the line. The behavior of the tracks is discussed extensively in the midst of the match, though.
