India vs New Zealand: “Very very difficult for the right-handers to score against him. When he was bowling to the left-handers, I like the way he uses the footmarks created by all the right-arm pacers. All of them left different footmarks and Axar Patel bowled very accurately into those,” Hogg said.
“Lastly, he is dominant in Indian conditions as he bowls a lot of sidespins. Needs to bowl more overspin to be effective in overseas conditions,” Brad Hogg added.
