'It Makes No Sense': Finch Slams Axar's Bowling Call Against SRH

Axar Patel: Former Australian captain Aaron Finch has criticised Axar Patel for bowling just two overs while allowing part-time Nitish Rana to complete his full quota during Delhi Capitals' (DC) clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). With several left-handers in SRH's top order, Delhi opted to use Ranas off-spin. However, despite conceding 55 runs in his four overs, only his 27th bowling outing in IPL history, the move raised eyebrows. Meanwhile, frontline spinners Axar and Kuldeep Yadav bowled just two overs each. Finch was openly critical of the decision, saying, Weve been sitting there scratching our heads, havent we? Your two Indian premier spin bowlers, Axar Patel, the skipper, and Kuldeep Yadav, bowled four overs between them. A part-time offspinner in Nitish Rana has wheeled out four overs. To me, that makes no sense, he told ESPNcricinfo. He further questioned Axar's reluctance to bowl to left-handers, even after dismissing Travis Head, suggesting it reflects an issue with mindset.
