Xtra Time Web Desk: Team India left arm spinner Axar Patel on Saturday said he is not too concerned with the presence of two world class spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the playing XI. Axar took a five-fer (5-62) against New Zealand on Day 3 of the first test at Kanpur. It was his fifth in his short test career spanning four test matches.

"Whenever I go to the ground, I try and enjoy and not think about whether Ashwin bhai and Jaddu are there," he made his thought-process clear.

"When I have ball in my hand, I just try and see to it that I am enjoying my bowling, trying to read the wicket and understand what's happening, how it's behaving and plan accordingly," he elaborated.

He is not at all bothered whether he has a lead role or a supporting one.

"I don't think about whether my role is a lead one or whether there are senior bowlers around me, I only think about my bowling and what is required to be done in that particular spell," he added.

Patel is happy that stand-in captain Ajinkya Rahane and head coach Rahul Dravid helped in keeping a calm dressing room when the team did not get any wicket for 67 overs.

"Obviously, if you don't get wicket for 67 overs, it's tough but dressing room was calm as Ajju bhai and Rahul sir kept a calm environment.

They said we have to keep patience because if we get one, we will get a few more and then we can make inroads," he said.

"We got the reward for our persistence in the first and second session," he signed off.
