"Underutilised...": Ex-India Star Points Out Suryakumar Yadav's 'Obvious Mistake' Against South Africa

Former Indian cricket team batter Sanjay Manjrekar believes that all-rounder Axar Patel was 'underutilised' in the first two T20I encounters against South Africa. Following India's loss in the second game of the four-match series on Sunday, Manjrekar said that although India are playing Axar as the third spinner with Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi, the team management has failed to use him properly. While the track did provide some help to the spinners, Axar bowled just one over in the match. Manjrekar was not pleased with the decision and called it an "obvious mistake" by captain Suryakumar Yadav.

Reflecting on his return to the national side, Chakaravarthy said that Gambhir's guidance had been pivotal.
