IND vs WI: He Is Only Concerned With His Own Performance- Axar Patel's Coach

Vijay Patel, who served as Axar Patel’s coach when the latter made his debut for Gujarat, believes that the player is solely concerned with his performance.
The left-arm spinning all-match-winning rounder’s performance with the bat, 64 not out (35b, 44, 56), came on the heels of a cheap bowling performance (1-40 in 9 overs in a high-scoring game), which enabled India to clinch the series 2-0.
Attention should be given to Axar’s knock, which India can count on to be among the best in a chase. India was chasing 312 and had 205 in the thirty-ninth over when he came on, needing 107 off 68 balls. The visitors were concerned that they would lose this one because Shubhman Gill (43), Shreyas Iyer (63), and Sanju Samson (54) had all failed to hold on for a significant one. They soon want 100 in the final 10 overs.
Axar saved India from losing by scoring the second-fastest ODI fifty by an Indian batsman against the West Indies, off 27 balls, and doing so quietly.
‘There was a phase when Jadeja was doing so well’: Axar Patel’s coach
Axar has made use of his chances for someone who always will get them if Ravindra Jadeja, who has a similar skill set, is not available. That can not be easy, especially because he has occasionally played for India while at other times passing by games entirely. Once more, he is unaffected by the situation.
“There was a time when Jadeja was doing so well that Axar seemed to be forgotten.” However, he appeared unconcerned about it. ‘Do not be concerned, sir. ‘Aage dekh lenge (we will see afterward),” he said.
“He did not feel any pressure, It makes no difference to him whether Jadeja is present or not. He is only concerned with his performance. As I previously stated, he is simply relaxed and enjoying his game. This attitude is what keeps him performing well” Vijay Patel Said.
Team India has won the three-match series against the West Indies 2-0 after two close victories.
