‘He hasn’t really done that much recently’: Ex-Eng bowler on India’s ‘weak link’

Despite the absence of the three star trio of Virat Kohli, Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah, the Indian team defeated New Zealand in the T20I opening game in Jaipur on Wednesday. This shows that India has a strong substitute strength. When the T20I team was announced, the overall composition of the team looked very balanced, which surprised some people. Having said that, a former England bowler believes that India has a weak link in the New Zealand T20Is lineup. Front spinner Graeme Swan thinks left arm spinner Axar Patel may be New Zealand’s target.

Swann called Axar a weak link and gave him an 8 out of 10 points. Swann believes that the fact that Axar has emerged from a safe IPL may not make him the biggest threat. Axar won 15 wickets in 12 IPL matches and returned 0/31 in the first T20I match in Jaipur. He won 9 wickets of 13 T20Is for India. “He may be the weak link. He hasn’t really done that much lately.

He is still 8 out of 10. He didn’t have the greatest IPL if he didn’t do anything wrong. He didn’t set the world on fire. Brilliant cricket. Athlete,” Swann told Cricket.com. Swann recalled Axar’s outstanding performance against England in the home series against India in February this year. The left arm spinner, in his debut series, defeated England by picking up 27 wickets in three tests, including four and five wickets in the second game in Ahmedabad.

Half of the game with a door and a 10 wickets. “Maybe I said it was reluctant because he just destroyed (England). I mean, England should win India’s test series after the Chennai test, but thanks to Axar Patel, England ranks in the two-way game. Third,” Swan pointed out.

About Squid Game

Squid Game season two premiered on December 26 last year. It starred Lee Jung-jae and centred around a secret competition in South Korea that target people in debt and the winner get a big cash prize. However, losing the game is deadly. Directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game season one released in 2021.

Speaking with AP recently, Dong-hyuk said that he originally conceived of the show 15 years ago as a two-hour film but it failed to gain traction with financiers or even interested actors. He put it aside and worked on other films instead. He then had the idea to make it a TV series instead and took the project to Netflix. There, it could reach a wide audience. “I never in my wildest dream thought it was going to be this huge,” he had said.
