Axar Patel gets engaged to girlfriend on birthday
Indian all-rounder Axar Patel turned 28 on Thursday (January 20) and birthday wishes poured him from different quarters. The southpaw made the day even more special for himself as he got engaged to his girlfriend Meha. Taking to Instagram, Patel shared multiple pictures with his girlfriend, and the comment section got flooded with congratulatory messages. Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal also sent his wishes.
Meanwhile, Axar’s Gujarat teammate Chintan Gaja was one of the first to share the good news on social media. He shared a couple of photos of the event through his Instagram stories. In the photos, the left-arm spinner can be seen going down on one knee to propose to the love of his life. Axar had even arranged a ‘Marry Me’ sign surrounded with flowers in the shape of a giant heart.
Axar Patel’s special proposal for girlfriend
It was indeed a special proposal and Meha evidently loved Axar’s gesture. The spinner also took to his social media page and made the news official. “Today is the new beginning of our life “Together & Forever”. Love you till eternity,” read the caption of the post
Meanwhile, Axar, who has emerged as a vital part of the Indian team across formats, is giving the ongoing South Africa tour a miss due to a stress fracture. He’s unlikely to come back in the team for the home series against Sri Lanka. Hence, it would be interesting to see when he comes back in action.
It must be noted that 2021 was a breakthrough year for the all-rounder. Making his Test debut against England, the left-arm spinner bowled some sensational spells and made a dream start to his career in the longest format. He picked up 27 wickets in three matches as the then Virat Kohli-led side clinched the series 3-1.
The southpaw later made a comeback in the white-ball team as well. Speaking of his last assignment, Axar featured in India’s home Test series against New Zealand. He scalped yet another five-fer in the opening Test while returned with a maiden international fifty in the second game. Hence, the team management would to avail his services sooner than later.
