Quality spinners have made an impression on the T20 World Cup, particularly within the matches performed in India. Keeping in thoughts the situations, Shastri is in favour of enjoying the additional spinner, including to the range and angles of assault.
“I think they have to bring him (Axar Patel) back. You need that experience,” he stated.
“I might say play each (Patel and Sundar). Give your self that additional choice. Because on a given day, you are certain to have one bowler who’s going to have an
off day. Like for instance, Varun Chakravarthy on Sunday. He was not at his finest and he paid the worth for it.
“If Axar Patel is enjoying, he is likely to be batting at No.8. You have gotten Hardik Pandya at No.5, you’ve got bought Shivam Dube at No.6, you’ve got bought Washington Sundar at No.7. Axar can go at No.5 as nicely.
“Now, if eight batters can’t do the job in T20 cricket, then something’s wrong, especially with that kind of firepower. Where you’re missing out is you’re not giving yourself that extra option of a bowler, which I think is important. Rinku Singh might have to miss out. But if he has to come in, he has to come in place of a specialist batter.”
