Indian all-rounder Axar Patel celebrated his 28th birthday on Thursday (January 20) and birthday wishes poured him from different quarters. He made the day even more special after getting engaged with his girlfriend Meha Patel. 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 news of their engagement on social media. He shared a couple of pictures of the ceremony through his Instagram stories. In the photos, the left-arm all-rounder can be seen going down on one knee to propose to the love of his life. Axar Patel had even arranged a ‘Marry Me’ sign surrounded with flowers in the shape of a giant heart.

Meanwhile, Axar Patel, who has emerged as a vital part of the Indian team across formats especially in the games at home, 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 will be coming back in action.

It must be noted that 2021 was a breakthrough year for Axar Patel. Making his Test debut against England, the left-arm all-rounder had some sensational spells and made a dream start to his career in Test cricket as he scalped 27 wickets in three matches as the then Virat Kohli-led side clinched the series 3-1.
