He never feels the pressure: Vijay Patel

WI vs IND - Axar Patel - Mohammed Siraj

"Axar is a typical Nadiad boy. He never feels pressure. Small-town kids are tough, fearless people. I have known him since his under-16 days for Gujarat. He's very focused and mentally relaxed. Success or the India cap hasn't changed him. He's still very humble.

We spoke today. He was really happy. He's enjoying his life and cricket. He's such a jovial character that the dressing room atmosphere is different when he's around. He makes other players enjoy with him," said Vijay Patel as quoted by CricTracker.

Elaborating the same, Vijay Patel also said, "Sometime back, there was a phase when Jadeja was doing so well that Axar almost seemed forgotten. However, he seemed completely relaxed about it. 'Don't worry sir. Aage dekh lenge (we'll see in the future)' he told me.

He wasn't feeling any pressure. It doesn't make a difference to him if Jadeja is around or not. He's only focused on his own performance. As I said earlier, he's just relaxed and enjoying his game. It’s this attitude which helps him keep performing well."
