India cricketer Axar Patel got married to his longtime girlfriend Meha Patel on January 26. The couple were dating each other for some time before they got engaged in January 2022. Axar’s wife is very social media savvy and she keeps on putting out the latest photos from her vacations. She has travelled to big tourist spots like Dubai, the USA and Goa along with Axar Patel.
The all-rounder was not named in the New Zealand series as he opted out for personal reasons. The Mehndi ceremony and pre-wedding celebrations took place on January 25. The videos from the wedding ceremony are doing the rounds on social media. In one of the videos, Axar can be seen performing dance steps to a Bollywood number.
Along with Axar, KL Rahul also was granted leave due to “personal reasons”. Rahul and Athiya Shetty tied the knot at Suneil Shetty’s farmhouse at Khandala in Mumbai. Axar has come leaps and bounds with his batting and bowling. In the series against Sri Lanka. He got runs with the bat and wickets with the ball as he took away the man of the series award.
I feel happy when the team benefits from my batting – Axar Patel
He scored 117 runs in the three-match series against the Islanders and also picked up three wickets with the ball. The all-rounder made a fine 65 in Pune to help India to get to a respectable total when the Men in Blue were in dire straits. He has also added more variations to his bowling which has allowed him to step up and fill in the massive shoes of Ravindra Jadeja.
“Feel happier when the team benefits from my batting (when compared to bowling). Didn’t do anything different for this series, just that the captain gave me a lot of confidence in the dugout. He tells me to play freely and tells me that he is there to protect me,” Axar had said as quoted by News 18.
Axar provides the left-arm spin option along with his left-handed batting capabilities in the middle order, which is dominated by right-handers. This has been the coming of age for the 29-year-old and with lady luck by his side now one could say that things are only going to get better for Axar.
