IPL 2026: ‘I Put Myself In The Front’ - Axar Patel And Captaincy Unlocking His Never-seen-before Side
Indian Premier League: For most of his career, left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Axar Patel did what was asked of him - bowl when called upon and bat when needed to bail the team out of trouble. In going from junior cricket to the Indian Premier League (IPL) and now being a mainstay in the Indian white-ball side, Axar was the embodiment of a cricketer who did the hard work, trusted the process, and stayed in his lane.
It worked handsomely – starting Test career with a bang, while bagging the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup and 2025 Champions Trophy winners medals. But it was only when he became India’s vice-captain in T20Is (including in 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup win) and Delhi Capitals (DC) handed him the leadership armband ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 that Axar realised there was an entirely different side which he never knew – of bringing the best out of players and thinking about taking the team to victories.
"I think, and I feel that as a player, you do what the team requires of you, and that this is your role in cricket, and that is your role in bowling. Due to that, I wouldn't think much about my surroundings and just do my batting and bowling. But when you are in a leadership group, apart from yourself, you start thinking about how you can get the best out of this person and how this person can get me the cup.
