The initial phase of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 was extremely tough for Delhi Capitals spinner Axar Patel. While the DC think tank was busy discussing who would bowl the Super Over, Axar himself approached captain Rishabh Pant and expressed confidence that he could do the job without conceding more runs. When I asked (Steve) Smith, he told me that Avesh will bowl the Super Over. I then went up to Rishabh (Pant) and said that I can bowl the Super Over without conceding many runs. Pant consulted coach Ricky (Ponting), and he gave the captain the freedom to take the final call,” Axar told India TV.
