He has been a tremendous player for the franchise. He is probably the best all-rounder in T-20 today. He has been phenomenal for us and has done a great job as the vice-captain of the franchise. Whenever Rishabh was not available, whenever Rishabh was injured, Axar stepped up and played a big role. He’s a happy guy, he keeps the dressing room very light.
