R Ashwin Retirement: In the middle of the ongoing 5 Test match series between India and Australia, the veteran spin bowling all-rounder of the Indian cricket team R Ashwin has announced his retirement from international cricket. Ashwin has announced his retirement at the age of 38 and with his announcement, a spinner's place has become vacant in Team India. So let's know who can be seen filling his void in the Australia Test series.
This player can get a chance in the team
After R Ashwin's exit from the team, star spin bowling all-rounder Axar Patel can be given a chance in the Indian team for the last two matches against Australia. In fact, 30-year-old Axar Patel was dropped from Team India by the BCCI with the end of the New Zealand Test series and was not selected in the team for the Australia Test series. But now after Ashwin's retirement, he can enter the team. However, it is still very difficult for him to be included in the playing 11.
Axar will not get a chance in the playing 11
It is known that Axar Patel played his last Test match against England earlier this year. Since then, he has not been a part of India's playing 11 in any Test match and he will hardly get a chance to be included in the playing 11 against Australia as well. Since at present Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja have already made their place in the Indian Test team.
Axar Patel's Test career has been something like this
30-year-old Axar Patel has played 14 Test matches for India so far, in which he has taken 55 wickets in 27 innings. During this, he has taken 6 wickets for 38 runs in an innings. Not only this, but in 22 innings, he has scored 646 runs at an average of 35.88. During this, 4 half-centuries have also come from his bat.
