5 reasons why Axar Patel should always be played ahead of Ravindra Jadeja in ODIs

#4 Extracts more bounce and bite on flat surfaces

Axar’s tall physical stature helps him in extracting more bounce and bite off the pitch than Jadeja does. Jadeja might come in useful on pitches favouring spin bowling. However, he struggles to find any sort of rhythm on flat batting pitches.

Axar, on the other hand, has that natural advantage of extracting more bounce and can prove to be lethal on flat decks favouring the batsmen. As a result, it makes Axar a much more reliable and potent wicket-taking option to field on all kinds of wickets.
