In 2021, Axar Patel wreaked havoc. With 27 wickets in just three Tests, another Bapu drove England away. Ben Stokes & Co will face Axar again in the IND vs ENG Test series in two days’ time. But he has something special this time for an exciting brand of cricket that new coach Brendon McCullum has influenced. However, when he was asked about his secret weapon at BCCI Awards ceremony, Axar refused, jokingly saying, “won’t reveal” in front of McCullum, who was among the audience.
“I am not revealing my bowling, it is a top secret. I am so happy with my development. There are 5 Test matches, I can’t reveal anything, Brendon McCullum is sitting here,” Axar Patel said at the BCCI Awards Ceremony.
Axar Patel bagged the award for best debut in 2020-21.
