Having a conversation with Axar Patel is like talking to one of your best friends instead of the captain of a cricket team, Delhi Capitals (DC) Jake Fraser-McGurk said. Axar took a good start for his life as a Skipper of DC, with the side now in second place in the table of points, via six victories in eight. Fraser-McGurk was out of DC playing eleven after a difficult series of form and recalled how to speak to Axar gave him comfort. Axar is only one of those players who lead everyone, and everyone follows it, I suppose. It is an incredible talent, and the way he plays makes everyone really proud to be at Delhi Capitals. “”
“He is so calm and relaxed at any time. We saw during this great after a few games, he was very relaxed and very calm, as he did a thousand times, but I don’t know how many times he has done. We like to play under Axar, and we think he is one of the best players in our team that we can follow, and he can be a leader.”
“The conversation was very relaxed. We dined after a match, and he said that you have so many more opportunities. There will be so many times that you play for this franchise and that you can succeed for us. The good thing is that we are well and that we win in a way that we want to win.”
“So what he says is to continue smiling. He always says he keeps smiling at everyone, not only to me. He is one of those guys who is so relaxed in all these situations. I feel like I am talking to one of your best friends instead of the captain, and he was great,” said Fraser-McGurk at the pre-match press conference before DC Bengaluru (RCB) on Sunday.
Fraser-McGurk was not about to reproduce his astonishing success of last season, alleging only 55 points in six games so far, with an average of 9.16 and a typing rate of 105.76. At less than 38 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Visakhapatnam, the rest of the scores were in one figure.
“I would love to have more races next to my name, but that’s how cricket is sometimes. You go through ups and you go through stockings, and I think that the IPL has seen it in the two years for me personally. You saw last year, and now you see this year. But no, I don’t think so well. “
“Obviously, my role as a striking is to pass the team. He added.
Fraser-McGurk, which was also in a Lean race with Australia in White-Ball Cricket and Big Bash League (BBL), admitted that he was not the best person to be at high level in the face of a bad shape of striker. But turning your attention to the right centers is keeping it in order.
“It’s quite obvious, isn’t it? It’s not great this year, but you can’t be too based on results and results in this game, otherwise you will simply get.
“It’s the game – it’s Cricket T20. It will happen. Everyone will not go there and hit 50 on 20 balls each time. This is not how you find ways to cross these little periods and then go out on the other side. It’s not always good.”
“You have to learn to do it, but I think that trying to focus on yourself and being as professional as you can in the gymnasium, and doing everything like OnePrenter. So, when you are or could be selected after being abandoned, you have done everything you can be ready for the next luck,” he developed.
Asked about the difference between playing under coaches Ricky Ponting and Hemmang Badani, Fraser-McGurk said there was not much to separate the work environment under these two at the helm. “Obviously, Ricky is one of the best to do so for Australia. I also worked under Hemang at Dubai Capital, so it’s not new.”
“He is a great coach, and the coach staff around him, with Matthew Mott, our stick coach and everyone. The players, I’m going to talk to them a lot. It’s not very different. Ricky is a wonderful coach and was a wonderful player. I loved playing under him, but Hemang is still,” he concluded.
