According to Team India captain Rohit Sharma, Axar Patel has not bowled much in the first two Tests because Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin have performed admirably.<\/p>\n
He believes that when a team uses three spinners, the third one is frequently under-bowled and that there is little that can be done about it.<\/p>\n
In the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, Jadeja and Ashwin are the top two wicket-takers. While the left-arm spinner has taken 17 wickets, the off-spinner has taken 14. In two Test matches, Axar has only one wicket from 26 overs.<\/p>\n
At a press conference on Tuesday, February 28, Rohit discussed Axar\u2019s lack of bowling in the first two Tests. He said \u2013<\/p>\n
\u201cAshwin and Jadeja have both bowled really well, so I have to continue to make them bowl them as much as possible. If you have three spinners, you know that the third spinner is always under-bowled. It\u2019s been Axar in these two Test matches. You never know who the guy will be in the next two Test matches\u201d<\/p>\n
