Axar Patel in T20 re-build mode after World Cup injury low
“It wasn’t like I was particularly fired up today. It is the selectors’ decision and not mine, so I was just focussing on what I had to do in the game.” Axar Patel celebrates with Suryakumar Yadav after taking the wicket of Ben McDermott during the fourth T20I between India and Australia Axar Patel was his usual cheerful self, addressing the press conference after India’s series-clinching win in the fourth T20 International against Australia in Raipur on Saturday. It wasn’t long ago that Axar looked like one of the mainstays in India’s T20I line-up. He credited Suryakumar Yadav, India’s stand-in captain in the series, for creating an environment that allowed him to find his best after returning from a heartbreaking injury layoff. “I was a bit disappointed that the World Cup was in India and I missed out because of an injury,” said Axar.
