“It’s Axar Patel in my book” – Aakash Chopra picks Axar over Ravindra Jadeja as spin-bowling all-rounder spot for T20 World Cup 2024.

Aakash Chopra suggests that Axar Patel should be India’s preferred spin-bowling all-rounder for the 2024 T20 World Cup over Ravindra Jadeja. During the second T20I against Afghanistan, Axar impressed with figures of 2/17 in four overs, contributing to India’s victory.

Chopra expressed his preference for Axar in a YouTube video, though he acknowledged that the Indian team management may have a differing perspective.

Chopra said “Axar Patel was given the Player of the Match award. I am scared when Axar gets the Player of the Match because he was dropped when he got two successive Player of the Match awards last time. They didn’t take him to South Africa and don’t know what they will do now as well.”

There is no clarity yet whether Ravindra Jadeja or Axar Patel is your first spinner who can bat at No. 7. It’s Axar Patel in my book. However, because the Indian team made Jaddu the vice-captain in the last series, maybe the team is thinking about Ravindra Jadeja”

The Men in Blue clinched the series by successfully chasing down Afghanistan’s total of 172 with six wickets and 26 deliveries to spare. The final game is set to take place in Bengaluru on Wednesday.
