DCvsMI:Axar traps Mumbai Indians with a quality bowling spell
Delhi Capitals (DC) spinner Axar Patel display a quality bowling spell in the match against Mumbai Indians (MI) at Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Axar Patel who picked 3 wickets and scored 9 runs won the man of the match award, During the post-match presentation he told that he has been able to read batsmen easily.I think I’m varying my pace well, and also able to read the batter’s mind, think I’m one step ahead of them and that’s helping me. In that sense, it’s going well for me at the moment. I thought he’ll try to attack me (on his dismissal of Quinton de Kock), I felt he will try to go over cover and that’s why I went wide of off-stump, he ended up slicing it to backward point. It’s crucial as to how you use your fingers to get revolutions, the body action is important. It’s all about how you finish the action, the amount of pace variations is the key. I have mastered a new delivery, but I don’t need to use it when the regular variations are working so well (laughs).
