Chahal has looked off form in the ongoing England tour

The combination of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav has been the talk of the town since their combo in white-ball cricket. However, Chahal has struggled to pick up wickets in the ongoing tour of England unlike his partner Kuldeep.

In 5 matches (3 T20Is, 2 ODIs), Chahal has picked up only 3 wickets, which is below par when compared to his star performance in South Africa tour. Hence, it would be a good idea to rest Chahal for a match and consider the left-arm spinner Axar Patel.

Though some may think it as a bizarre idea, England has been vulnerable in the past to left-arm spinners (Ravindra Jadeja, Yuvraj Singh). Axar Patel has also been in good form, picking up a 4-wicket haul for India A in the Tri-series.
