AKSHAR PATEL

Akshar Patel was once the go-to spinner in the Indian team in 2015-2016. He played almost every game and was even in the Indian squad for the ICC World Cup 2015, though he didn’t get to play any match. However, Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin forced him out of contention, as he battled with some injuries at the wrong time of his career.

He has made a good comeback, currently playing for India A. He scored 60* in the first one-day match against South Africa A. He had also made 81* against West Indies A on an away tour. In 38 ODIs, he has picked 45 wickets and 9 scalps in 11 T20I matches for the Indian team. Seemingly he has got his mojo back and would hope for another chance in upcoming matches to prove his mettle and get back in contention for World T20 2020.
