Indian all-rounder Axar Patel got married to his long-time girlfriend Meha Patel in Vadodara on Thursday. The event was attended by his friends, family, and some cricketers. The all-rounder skipped the series against New Zealand owing to his wedding. There was a massive gathering and as Axar arrived at the venue he was greeted with a loud cheer. The cricketer got engaged to Meha on 20 January 2022. Meha and Axar have been dating for quite some time now. The couple has posted several pictures of them on social media.
The star allrounder has been in top form with the ball and the bat. He made his Test debut in 2021 against England and has been an important member of the Test squad since then. He ended up picking 27 wickets in three matches and played an important role in India’s 3-1 victory in the series.
He will return to the national squad for the four-match Test series against Australia played for the ‘Border-Gavaskar Trophy’ starting on 9th February. Given his good form, he would be a key player in the Indian mix. The series holds tremendous importance for India to qualify for the World Test Championship final. India need to win at least two matches to stay in the race for a spot in the final.
India to play against NZ in the first T20I on Friday
If they manage to win three Tests, their spot will be confirmed. Meanwhile, India will lock horns with New Zealand in a three-match T20I series ahead of their marquee Test series against Australia. The first T20I will be played on Friday in Ranchi. With less than two weeks left for the Border Gavaskar to begin, a T20 series in the midst of a packed ODI calendar ahead of the 50-over World Cup may seem purposeless. As a result, Hardik Pandya, who led a 2-1 series win over Sri Lanka earlier this month, will be back to lead the T20 side with some regulars and fringe players in the squad.
Meanwhile, Twitter was abuzz with several congratulatory posts for Axar Patel for his wedding. Here are some of the Tweets:
