I was taken aback by Sunil Gavaskar comments Axar Patel

India TV News  

New Delhi: Left-arm spinner Axar Patel has taken Sunil Gavaskar's stinging criticism in his stride and says he is determined to prove the former India captain wrong with consistent performances, starting with the five ODIs in Australia next month. “Fortunately, I have been a part of the ODI setup since then and performing decently,” says Patel who has played 22 ODIs and four T20 Internationals since making his international debut in June 2014. Gavaskar ruled him out as India's alternative spinner in Tests, called him a mere roller of the ball and someone who is predictable because he mainly bowls flat and doesn't offer flight. Patel, who played four of the five ODIs in India's last assignment against South Africa, is not spending too much time dwelling on what he will do in Australia.
