Axar Patel being an all-rounder, has given us some heroic performances with his bowling (left-arm off spin). After shining bright in the IPL 2021, Axar was given a chance to prove himself in the Test format by skipper Virat Kohli in Febuary 2021. Patel’s bowling being his stronger feature, he rised up to the occasion and now has an impressive stat of 36 wickets in just 5 Test matches with five 5-wicket hauls. Below are some of his great performances, mostly with the ball.
Here’s wishing #TeamIndia all-rounder @akshar2026 a very happy birthday.
