In a hilarious interview, all-rounder Axar Patel recalled an incident when he almost wore wife’s jersey to an IPL match in Dubai.
In a video shared by Delhi Capitals on their official Youtube channel, Axar and his wife Meha were in conversation with the host when the cricketer recollected a funny memory from IPL 2021.
“I had just come back from my practice in the scorching heat of Dubai…I was sweating profusely. After cleaning myself, I took out the only t-shirt left from my bag.”
“The t-shirt felt too tight…I thought after all the gyming my body has pumped up and the t-shirt doesn’t fit me anymore.”
“I asked Sumit to check whose name was written on the back…he said it’s Meha’s jersey” (laughs)

When the host asked him about the best moment in his life, Patel said, “15.06.2014 – my India debut.”
Meanwhile, in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the 29-year old cricketer displayed brilliant performance with the bat.
Axar, alongside veteran spinner Ashwin put on a 114-run ninth-wicket stand that helped India reach 262, only one run short of Australia’s first-innings.
In the second Test against Australia on Saturday, Patel scored a crucial 74-run knock while batting again alongside Ashwin.
