Axar Patel finds "self-belief" in his journey as an all-rounder

New Indian Express  

DUBAI: Axar Patel is quickly positioning himself as an useful all-rounder in white ball formats, and for him "self-belief" is the key ingredient in that transformation. In the latest instance, Axar made a handy 42 and then claimed the prized wicket of Kane Williamson with his left-arm spin to play an important role in India's 44-run win over New Zealand in a Champions Trophy match here on Sunday. Maybe, I was putting more pressure on myself back then, despite knowing that I have the talent," Axar said in a mixed zone interaction with reporters here. Axar also said his promotion to No.5 batting slot in white ball formats helped his growth as an all-rounder.
