AUS vs PAK: WATCH- Australian Dressing Room Reveals Best Spin All-Rounders, 3 Indian Players Makes The Cut

The Australian team is currently facing Pakistan in a three-match Test series at home. The AUS vs PAK 2nd Test in Melbourne was affected by rain. Hence, Australian players had a fun time inside the dressing room.

During a task, Australian players were asked to write the name of the best spin all-rounders in history on a board. Three Indian players were part of the list. A total of 9 players were part of that list.

Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, And Axar Patel Makes The Cut

Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Axar Patel were also mentioned on the list. However, Ashwin’s name also had a question mark. Axar Patel’s name was blurred and looked like someone tried to rub it later.

Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Axar Patel are three crucial spin all-rounders for Team India currently. Jadeja is considered one of the best all-rounders to play for India. Ashwin, whose presence is only limited to Tests, is the second-highest wicket-taker for India in Tests with 489 wickets.

With the bat, he has slammed 5 centuries and 14 half-centuries in the longest format. Axar Patel is quite a new member of the national team. However, he has many standout shows with both bat and ball. Have a look at the list below.
