Axar also lauded the way young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal unsettled the England spinners by taking on them from the word go

England got a taste of what their Bazball is up against in Indian conditions. The Indian spinners, on a pitch that offered a bit of turn and bounce, dictated the terms, dismissing the Three Lions for a below-par 246 in 64.3 overs

However, stealing the spotlight was Sanju Samson, whose sporadic performances have seen him in and out of the team.

Axar Patel was the preferred choice for selectors in the World Cup. However, Axar sustained an injury during the Asia Cup and was replaced by veteran Ashwin.

Axar had sustained a quadriceps tear and is not expected to recover anytime soon, forcing the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee to name the 37-year-old Ashwin in the squad

India skipper Rohit Sharma and stalwart batter Virat Kohli had been rested for the first two games and will return for the final game

Rohit said the third ODI against Australia will give the team a chance to test their consistency.

A report said Axar hasn't sufficiently recovered to be included in the squad for the third ODI and is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru

Even though Washington was included in the India squad as replacement for Axar, Rohit said even veteran spinner R Ashwin is very much within the India's scheme of things as a spin bowling all-rounder.

Before this match, India and Sri Lankan had already sealed their places in Sunday's final

Axar stated that Delhi would try to play near-perfect matches in the coming time, starting from Monday's clash

Talismanic batter Virat Kohli showed impeccable grit, discipline and concentration to make a magnificent 186 as India took a 91-run lead over Australia after being bowled out for 571 in their first innings

India's left-arm spin all-rounder Axar Patel on Sunday said he is carrying forward the confidence, which is helping him bat really well in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia.

The Sri Lankans surely had the firepower to chase down 163 but Mavi's strikes at front and back end of the innings tilted the game in favour of the home team.
