He ran to his left, fumbled twice and lost his balance while attempting a third grab. He was seen clutching the top of his head before walking off the field. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> Axar did not return for the remainder of the innings and bowled just one over. Earlier, he had struck a quickfire 26 off 13 balls at No. 5, hitting three fours and a six. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> India face Pakistan in under 48 hours in Dubai and it remains unclear whether Axar will be fit in time. The all-rounder provides vital balance to India&#8217;s line-up with his ability to float in the middle order. He also served as vice-captain in the home series against England earlier this year, which India won 4-1. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> In the group-stage clash against Pakistan, Axar had claimed two wickets and played a key role in squeezing the flow of runs during the middle overs. <\/p>\n<p> \u00a9 Cricbuzz <\/p>\n<p>     RELATED STORIES  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ASIA CUP 2025 Axar Patel had scored a quickfire 26 in the first innings \u00a9 AFP Axar Patel&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":156019,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-156018","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156018\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
