Axar Patel has batting potential
It is safe to say that Axar Patel has impressed just as much with the bat as he has with the bowl in this tournament. And this is an analogy circulating a guy who has taken a hat-trick in this tournament—the only one of it thus far.
When he came to bat, KXIP would have been content with a target in the 170s. However, in the 5 balls that he played, he got them 10 runs more than they hoped for.
He came in and hit a six in the very first ball that he faced. He followed it with another six before finishing his innings with 16 runs from the 5 balls that he faced—something that made the difference in the end.
