IND vs ENG: Axar Patel 6th Indian Spinner To Bag 5-Wicket Haul On Test Debut

By IANS News February 16, 2021 • 22:58 PM View: 2115

Left-arm spinner Axar Patel on Tuesday became the sixth Indian spinner to take a five-wicket haul on debut in a Test match. The 20-year-old bowler bagged five for 60 runs - 21-5-60-5 - to play a lead role in India's 317-run win over England in the second Test at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here.

The most recent player to do so was off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin who, on his Test debut, against the West Indies in New Delhi in 2011-12 captured six for 47 at the Ferozeshah Kotla. India went on to beat the West Indies by five wickets.
