Suresh Raina made a prediction, said - 'This player's World Cup ticket is confirmed'

 

Former Indian team cricketer Suresh Raina has made a big prediction before the upcoming T20 World Cup. Actually, Suresh Raina believes that Axar (Axar Patel) has sealed his ticket in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup (T20 World Cup 2024) to be held in West Indies and USA. This is because he has consistently performed well with both bat and ball in the past.   

Raina made this prediction after the T20 match played between India and Afghanistan in Mohali. He said, 'Akshar can bowl in the powerplay. Whenever he has batted, he has performed well. He keeps changing the speed of his bowling. The way he has dismissed R Gurbaz, I think his ticket is confirmed for the World Cup.

Let us tell you that Akshar  has been a part of the Indian team for a long time. His performance in the first T20 match played between India and Afghanistan was also amazing. Here Akshar had taken 2 wickets for just 223 runs in his quota of four overs. Apart from Gurbaz, he took the big wicket of Rahmat Shah.

If we talk about Akshar's statistics, till now he has played 51 T20 matches for India during which he has taken 47 wickets. Not only this, whenever Akshar got a chance, he has also contributed well for the team with his batting. He has 361 T20 runs in his name with a strike rate of 144.40. In such a situation, it will be very interesting to see whether Suresh Raina's prediction comes true in the future or not.

Also know that the second match of the T20 series being played between India and Afghanistan will be played on Sunday, January 14 at Holkar Stadium in Indore. The host team is leading 1-0 in the three-match series.
