To which Axar said that he said to skipper that the pitch was supporting spinners more than fast bowlers in detail.

“I was just thinking that it is very difficult to score runs against a spinner on this wicket. I felt a spinner would be much better than a fast bowler on this wicket,” Axar said in the video which was uploaded by IPL’s official Twitter handle.

The Gujarat based all rounder further added that the left handed David Warner might find it difficult to hit him towards the longer side of the ground.

I went to the captain and explained how it would be difficult for the left-hander to target one side of the boundary, and the right-hander can get out if he takes a chance while targeting the shorter side,” Axar Patel revealed.

Delhi Capitals will next lock horns against Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 27^th 2021 in Ahmadabad.
