“He’s still figuring out the off side from the leg, but we couldn’t wait to introduce him to all of you in blue. World, welcome Haksh Patel, India’s smallest, yet biggest fan, and the most special piece of our hearts. 19- 12- 2024,” Axar and his wife posted on Instagram.
During the media interaction before the Boxing Day Test, Rohit Sharma, India’s team captain, made it clear that Axar Patel wouldn’t partake in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy line-up this time around because he’s away on paternity leave. Therefore, he hasn’t been named in the playing list for any of the Tests in this ongoing series.
“Tanush Kotian played here in Australia a month back with India A and performed well,” said Sharma. “Kuldeep Yadav wasn’t 100% fit and faced visa issues, while Axar Patel had just welcomed a baby into his family. Kotian was the best option available, given his readiness and recent form.”
On the 7th of October, Axar, alongside his wife Meha, joyfully announced they’re expecting a baby. Axar, taking to Instagram, shared an emotionally resonating video officially broadcasting his soon-to-be new status as a father.
In a grand event in January 2023, Axar and Meha vowed their everlasting love for each other. He shared a heartwarming video on his social handles, capturing endearing moments from Meha’s baby shower – a festive occasion where both families were present. Exuding excitement in his post, Axar hinted that their family is about to receive an incredible bundle of joy soon.
