England vs India, Axar Patel: There is some connection between Akshar Patel and England. If this was not the case then those 5 reasons pointing in that direction would not have existed. The 5 reasons here are related to the figures which are telling the story of Akshar Patel’s dominance in cricket against the England team. Axar Patel did the same thing in the match played at Edgbaston on 14th July, which he has been doing against England in his career. By doing wonders first with the ball and then with the bat, he created such a fabric of victory for Team India that England’s victory procession that had been going on for the last 11 years in the ODI played at Edgbaston came to a halt.

The performance in the Edgbaston ODI was just another example

Akshar Patel took 4 wickets for 62 runs in 9.5 overs in the Edgbaston ODI against England. Then after that he played an unbeaten inning of 57 runs on 52 balls with the bat in difficult conditions. Meaning a complete all-round performance, for which he was also chosen Player of the Match. But, here we are not talking about his performance, but about his connection with England. We are investigating those 5 reasons which say that there is something between Akshar Patel and England.

There is something between Axar Patel and England!

1. Akshar Patel has achieved the feat of taking 5+ wickets 5 times so far in his international career. Out of these, he has taken maximum 5+ wickets only against the England team.
2. His best bowling figure in Test cricket is also against England, when he took 6 wickets for 38 runs.
3. Even in ODI, his best bowling figure is against England, which was seen in the match played at Edgbaston on 14th July.
4. Akshar Patel has won the Player of the Match award in all three formats of cricket against England. He is the fourth Indian after Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav to achieve this feat.
5. The only Player of the Match award that Akshar Patel has received so far in an ICC tournament has also come in the match against England.

Akshar Patel likes playing against England

These 5 reasons make it clear how much India’s spin all-rounder Akshar Patel loves playing against England. In international cricket, most players have a good record against some team or the other. But, it would not be wrong to say that Akshar Patel’s performance against England is much better.
