India vs Australia: Spinner Axar Patel comes back for last two ODIs

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selectors have given left-arm spinner Axar Patel a chance in the last two ODIs against Australia and dropped all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.

Patel’s ankle got seriously injured in Chennai before the ongoing series, therefore, the selectors had included Jadeja in the 15-man squad as a cover.

India have already clinched the five-match ODI series 3-0. Virat Kohli and team comfortably defeated Kangaroos with five wickets in the 3^rd ODI in Indore on Sunday.

The fourth and fifth matches of the series will be played on September 28 and October 1, respectively.
