There's High Confidence In What Axar Does With The Ball: Venkatapathy Raju
T20 World Cup Champions: When Axar Patel made his T20I debut against Zimbabwe in 2015, many were left wondering how his career path would turn out, considering Ravindra Jadeja had established himself in the national set-up across formats.
For the next couple of years, Axar was in and out of the India white-ball squads, as his presence was dependent on Jadeja’s availability. But in last few years, Axar has carved a strong presence for himself in India’s side in the shortest format, especially in the T20 World Cup triumph in June.
If it was his three-fer which gave India the early lead over upstaging England in the semi-finals, Axar stepped up with his batting prowess by making a vital 47 in the final against South Africa.
