The greatest a part of Yashasvi Jaiswal’s entertaining unbeaten 76 was the way through which he utterly unsettled England’s troika of spinners, India’s left-arm sluggish bowler Axar Patel reckoned after opening day’s play within the first Test. Riding on Jaiswal’s 70-ball blitz, India closed the opening day at 119 for 1 whereas replying to England’s first innings whole of 246 all out.
“We enjoyed the way Yashasvi was batting and he took on the spinners from the very first over. It was very good to unsettle them early,” stated Axar within the post-day press convention.
Jaiswal hammered debutant England left-arm spinner Tom Hartely for 2 sixes within the second over of India’s first innings to impose himself on the match. However, Axar himself performed a not insignificant function in India’s cost on the day, plucking the wickets of Jonny Bairstow and Ben Foakes.
The 30-year-old stated he was simply attempting to enhance senior companions Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.
“I have learned a lot from seniors Ash and Jaddu bhai. I was trying to control the game from my end as they were bowling in partnership. They were taking wickets, so, I was not thinking about taking wickets,” he stated.
“I know that if you are playing three spinners then one of them will get a lesser number of overs. They were also telling me what was happening on the wicket and what I should do. It is a privilege to bowl with them,” stated Axar.
The Gujarat bowler was significantly happy in regards to the dismissal of Bairstow after castling him with a gem of a supply that was bowled from extensive of the crease, hitting the stumps with the angle.
“That delivery really came off well. We were talking if it turns from there then it would be great because the odd ball was turning. Bairstow took stance on the fourth wicket to avoid the lbw.”
“So, I thought of bowling at the stumps because he did cut a few shots close to the stumps. That was the plan and the one that turned from there was good and you would have seen my celebration,” he added.
In their try to negate Indian spinners, the England batters employed reverse sweeps one too many occasions and Axar stated the attacking mindset of rivals exponentiated his possibilities to take wickets.
“I was talking with the captain that they were playing sweeps and reverse sweeps and we were looking where the reverse sweeps were going. So, we placed the point (fielder) a bit behind. We had talked about this in the team meeting and we had a plan for this. It’s good that they wanted to attack and it had a chance of getting them out,” he famous.
Axar stated the RGI Stadium pitch didn’t have any alarming flip and it was a very good effort from the Indian bowler’s half to bowl out England for 246.He hoped that the batters would play longer on the second day and additional cement the group’s benefit.
“There is spin but the wicket is slow and we know that we did well to restrict them to 246. We can adjust to it as the ball is getting slow after pitching. Yeah, it is a bit challenging as well for the batters but if you bat well then you can make runs here,” he concluded. (With PTI inputs)
