Ravichandran Ashwin: India vs Australia: Spin trio’s home rule continues | Cricket News
While CHEAP Ashwin And Ravindra Jadeja are two superstars with over 700 of those tests, the third wing of the attack, Axar Patelis also a major threat.
“The record that Axar has with both bat and ball, it is not even a question of whether he can be left out of the team in these conditions,” the Indian batting coach Vikram Rathour said on Friday.
Axar might not have had such a big impact on the ball in the First Test, but his racket spoke for itself when he scored the crucial 84 goal that helped Australia through the match.
It’s a huge plus that all three can hit the ball. Ashwin and Jade also made useful contributions leading to a resounding victory in Nagpur.
For Rohit, it’s an issue he absolutely loves at the moment.
“It’s like captaining Cummins, Hazlewood and Starc in Australia. When you have Axar, Jadeja and Ash playing on surfaces like this, it’s always a blessing,” the captain said.
While Ashwin has a lot of variety, Jadeja can throw it faster in the air and can turn one’s head so much that steady hitters will find themselves in one spot. On the other hand, Axar is similar to Jadeja, but he bounces more due to his height and can be as restless as the Saurashtra player.
“Everybody has conditions but what they get out of those conditions makes them really special. They’ve played on these surfaces a lot and they know what areas to hit, how to keep creating. that pressure,” says Rohit, explaining the effects of all three. in the Test match.
What makes it even more special is that although they respect each other, there is still a healthy competition. Even on Saturday, when India was moving towards victory, Ashwin wanted to hit his five-stroke record while Jadeja wanted to finish 250 in the Test.
On the other hand, Axar played less bowling and wanted to be among the players, making it difficult for Rohit to choose.
“It’s been a bit difficult. They’re all hitting their milestones. Jadeja had 249 catches and he said to me, ‘just no ball.’ Ashwin had four catches and he wanted five and that’s the challenge I’m facing,” Rohit said.
Then, with the three boys performing as well as they did, there was also the question of where to take them from. One end is usually more rugged, as is the case with Jamtha, and all three cameramen love that. Rohit says he has to decide which finish is right for which pitcher, and that’s also a challenge.
“The pressure was always on me to find the right ending for lefties. It was a challenge and I also tried to play a bit of a head-to-head game and Ash played well against lefties. , while Jadeja and Axar Rohit added.
Is Ashwin the leader of the pack? Rohit said: “He is about to finish 100 Tests. A lot of cricket and passing helped develop the skills. He can hit the carrom, spin on and slide. He is very studious and loves to understand. your game”.
