Left-arm spinner Axar Patel is aiming for a spot in the T20 World Cup squad after being sidelined from the ODI World Cup due to an injury. He showed his prowess in the first T20I against Afghanistan, taking two wickets and conceding 23 runs in four overs. Patel expressed his focus on his work ethics and the process. He is currently focused on the IPL, hoping a standout performance will boost his chances of securing a spot in the T20 World Cup squad in June.
