Akshar told the plan of the third day

Akshar Patel said after the end of the second day's play, 'We want to restrict them (Australian team) to as low a score as possible so that we get fewer targets. I think tomorrow (day 3) morning session will be crucial. We need to bowl well and take some wickets.

How all rounder are you?

Akshar said, 'Obviously it feels good to score runs, but the important thing was to come back from pressure situations. I think I was capable of it, my confidence grew and then I was attacking the balls that were in my slot. In the West Indies, I was asked whether I am a batting or bowling all-rounder. My answer is simple - if I score runs then I am a batting all-rounder, if I get wickets then I am a bowling all-rounder.
