Axar Patel helped himself to two five-wicket hauls as India demolished England in AhmedabadPatel honed his skills as a spinner in England at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street'He was a real class act,' Lewis told Sportsmail. 'Jeetan was the best spinner in England for a long time, but Axar matched him and had a seven-wicket haul. And the qualities that have bamboozled England in Chennai and Ahmedabad — brisk spin that slides on dangerously with his left-arm — were in evidence then. 'I wouldn't say Axar was the biggest spinner of the ball, but he had great control and deception in pace and length. You can say there was plenty of assistance for him in Chennai and Ahmedabad but you have to use it, and Axar used it brilliantly.'
