Attitude: Still new to big-time cricket, Axar can absorb pressure with calmness. His slow left-arm bowling has proved to be effective in the IPL and earned him experts’ accolades.
Capability: Is a smooth operator. Mostly bowls a flatter trajectory making it hard for the batsmen to slog. Has a terrific game-sense for his age.
What it takes: Keeps it stump-to-stump with clever change of pace which not only stifles the flow of runs but also gets him a wicket.
Jersey number: 20, born on January 20, made his India debut at the age of 20 and has shot into limelight due to T20.
His importance: Axar is a street smart cricketer and is known to think on his feet. His unerring accuracy and ability to go through his overs quickly reduces the stress levels of his skipper. He’s a decent bat but is currently struggling Down Under.
