Axar has been getting a lot of praise from all-round the cricketing fraternity for his excellent efforts with both bat and the ball in the 2nd ODI match. The way he batted and took the game away from West Indies and his aggressive intent impressed everyone. He got the chance in the eleven because of Ravindra Jadeja’s injury, and he did not disappoint.
Patel said that the IPL experience helped him to finish the game for his team. He insists that this was his first ODI series after nearly five years, and he wanted to make it count.
“When I went out, I aimed for 10-11 an over. We thought it could be done because of our IPL experience,” Axar Patel said.
“We just needed to remain calm and keep the intensity up. This is my first ODI (series) after nearly five years. I would want to continue performing like this for my team.”
Axar played for Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2022, where he scored 181 runs at an excellent S/R of 151.66, whereas he also scalped 6 wickets with the ball. The improvement of Axar with the bat has been brilliant.
