Akshar was seen winning matches in IPL with his brilliant bowling, but now he has started winning his team with the bat as well. Akshar had said about his batting in an interview given to Dainik Bhaskar a year ago that 'I consider myself a batter. If I have to choose between batting and bowling, then I will choose Banting. The conditions made him a spin bowler. In the last one year, Axar has focused on his bowling as well as batting and as a result, he led his team to victory with his bat against Mumbai.
Question- Akshar Your best bowling world has seen, but you have been brilliant in batting too. You have said earlier that you are a batsman who can bowl. What do you believe now?
Answer- Circumstances have made me a bowler but I want to bat. I consider myself a batter. Whenever I am asked to choose between bowling and batting, I choose batting. If the coach also asks what you have to do first, then I say batting first and then bowling.
Question- What did you like more as a child, batting or bowling?
Answer- I was a batsman till under-19. There were more batsmen in the NCA, so I was put in the group of bowlers (spinners) as an all-rounder. I had also told Nanavati sir what would I do in the spinner group? Don't give me spin, I will bat. Sir said that batting will also be available in the spinner group. Chill out. Since then I bowled so much for 30 days that after that my focus was more on bowling. After this my place in the batting order went down. I started batting at number 3 to 4 then 5, 6, 7.
