Cricket News: Delhi Capitals all-rounder Axar Patel speaks ahead of IPL’s 13th season

After having a decent campaign last year, all-rounder Axar Patel is all set to make a mark for Delhi Capitals in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League. The 26-year-old spinner, who is slowly adapting to the new normal of cricket, spoke about the challenges of the new rules in the game and the IPL bio-bubble, "Obviously, with no crowd, we'll feel empty. Then, the saliva ban is going to make a big difference for the bowlers. During initial practice sessions, I was being conscious of not using saliva or sweat on the ball. So, these are the challenges which we will have to be wary of. Nevertheless, the positive thing is that at least we will have action-packed cricket after a long time, which is a good thing for not only us, but also for India. Everyone will enjoy the game with a different frame of mind which will be really exciting.”
