Axar Patel played a key role in India's T20 World Cup win

However, Axar Patel has tasted success in the 2024 T20 World Cup in the USA and the Caribbean. He played a key role with both bat and ball and went wicketless only in one game during the tournament as well. He was the Player Of The Match for India in the semi-final against England, where he registered figures of 3 for 23. However, his biggest contribution was in the final when he came to bat up the order with India struggling at 34 for 3 as well.

He scored a quickfire 47 off 31 balls and added an important partnership with Virat Kohli which proved to be key as Team India beat South Africa to win the T20 World Cup after 17 years as well.
