“I will keep Akshar Patel at number 2”- Aakash Chopra expressed his opinion regarding the retention of Delhi Capitals.
Rishabh Pant is the captain of Delhi Capitals in IPL. Aakash Chopra and Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter Former Team India batsman Aakash Chopra believes that Axar Patel should be the second retention of Delhi Capitals (DC) ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. He pointed out that the spin-bowling all-rounder has performed excellently for the franchise and it could prove costly for them if they try to re-acquire him through the ‘Right to Match’ card. Delhi Capitals failed to qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs and the team finished sixth after the league stage ended. Axar was one of the star performers for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024. He scored 235 runs in 12 innings at a strike rate of 131.28 and took 11 wickets in 44 overs at an economy rate of 7.65. Aakash Chopra gives advice to Delhi Capitals regarding retention In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel should be the first two retentions of Delhi Capitals. He said, “Rishabh Pant needs to be retained, although earlier there were rumors that he would not stay. However, now they are saying that it has been confirmed that he will be staying. So keep Rishabh Pant as your first retention, Rs 18 crore there.” The former opener further said, “I would say Axar Patel at number 2 because Bapu’s performance has been excellent for this team. He bowls four overs, bats very well and is a good fielder. If you keep him in the auction, you will have to pay a lot for RTM, so I think you should retain him.” Chopra admitted that the franchises may retain five capped players ahead of the auction. However, he added that apart from Rishabh Pant, Delhi Capitals do not have any players who should be retained for ₹18 crore, and hence they should limit themselves to only three capped retentions.

The first match was played between India A and India B at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. While the second match is being played between India C and India D at Rural Development Trust Stadium, Anantapur. So in this article, we are going to tell you about the main events that happened during these two matches. Talking about the main points of the first day’s play, fans got to see Mushir Khan’s century in the first match and Akshar Patel’s fighting innings in the second Test match. India A vs India B match day 1 highlights In the match, India A won the toss and decided to bowl, which proved right for them for some time. But by the end of the day’s play, Mushir Khan’s (105*) century pushed the game slightly towards India B. At the end of the day’s play, India B has scored a total of 202 runs for the loss of 7 wickets after 79 overs. Navdeep Saini is currently present at the crease with Mushir, scoring 29 runs. However, the failure of Yashasvi Jaiswal (30), Rishabh Pant (7) and Sarfaraz Khan (9) in batting before the Test series against Bangladesh is not a good sign. Shubman Gill took a brilliant catch of Pant, sending him to the pavilion. So after taking 7 wickets of India B for 94 runs, India A bowlers could not take any more wickets. By the end of the day’s play, Khalil Ahmed, Akashdeep and Avesh Khan had 2-2 wickets each. It will be interesting to see how quickly India A is able to bowl out India B on the second day of the game?

Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad (5), Sai Sudarshan (7), Aryan Juyal (12) and Rajat Patidar (13) have been dismissed. At the crease, Baba Indrajit is currently at 15* and Abhishek Porel is at 32*.

Arshdeep Singh handled one end very well and played aggressive shots continuously. Apart from Axar Patel, no other player from India D has been able to make an impact with his batting in the first innings. Axar Patel’s wicket was taken by Hrithik Shaukeen in this match. The excellent all-rounder will be very disappointed that he could not score a century in the first innings.

The best thing for the Indian team is that Axar Patel has come into tremendous form before the two-match Test series against Bangladesh starting on September 19 and now he will have to perform well with the ball as well. India C has also not had a good start in this match.

I always enjoyed batting and always got bored in fielding. That’s why in order to bowl quickly, I started doing spin bowling and I started getting wickets as well.’ My bowling has improved a lot because of Venkatapathy Raju sir: Axar Patel Akshar Patel further said, ‘When I went to the National Cricket Academy, Venkatpati Raju sir was there.

“Suddenly Rahul bhai told me Akshar, pad up”- So this is why Akshar was promoted in the World Cup final
Axar Patel (Photo Source: Getty Images) Batting first in the T20 World Cup 2024 final, India did not have a good start. India lost the wickets of captain Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant in the second over. Then, Suryakumar Yadav returned to the pavilion in the 5th over. India’s score was 34/3 in 4.3 overs. After that, it was Rahul Dravid who came up with a “masterstroke” which gave India a chance to recover their faltering innings. Let us tell you that, in that match, Akshar Patel was promoted in the batting order, but this was not India’s initial plan. In fact, Indian all-rounder Akshar Patel has revealed what really happened after India lost 3 wickets early. Akshar Patel told why he was promoted in the final match Speaking to Dinesh Karthik on Star Sports, Axar Patel said, “I thought I would bat down the order. But when we lost three wickets early, suddenly Rahul bhai told me, ‘Axar, pad up.’ I didn’t even get a chance to think about my batting, so it worked out for me.” After that, Akshar went to bat with Virat Kohli, who was at the crease. After getting off to a fast start in the first over, he maintained a “slow-but-steady” approach in his batting. Akshar took the responsibility of playing some big shots to keep the scoreboard ticking. In that match, Akshar Patel scored 47 runs in 31 balls with 4 sixes and 1 four and missed out on scoring a half-century. However, Axar Patel did exactly what he was sent for. He shared a 72-run partnership with Kohli to take India to 106/4 in 13.3 overs. India eventually scored 176/7 in 20 overs. In reply, South Africa’s innings ended at 169/8. India won the T20 World Cup after 17 years.
