There will come a time when Axar Patel steps aside for Ravindra Jadeja. For the bulk of his brief shorter-format career, Patel has served as a like-for-like replacement for Jadeja. Patel is the perfect foil with his steady stream of stump-to-stump balls zipped through the air that constantly checks the batsmen’s back-foot defence. In Chennai, Patel was quicker, between 91.3 km/hr and 100.4 km/hr, to get more spin. In Chennai, Patel bowled 41 overs.
