Top 3 bowlers to watch out for in 1st T20I between India and West Indies

2. Axar Patel

Axar Patel is a left-arm orthodox spin all-rounder who features in India's squad for this series. The Ekana surface, with its black-soil foundation, is known to assist spin and slower variations, and the ball tends to grip and stay low as the game progresses. Axar's tight line and length, combined with his ability to use the surface to extract grip and turn, make him well-suited to these conditions.

The Gujarat cricketer's left-arm angle adds an additional challenge for right-handed batters. In the middle overs, when the pitch slows down and batting becomes harder, Axar's control and variations could make him a difficult bowler to score against for the West Indies batting line-up.
