Axar Patel, the bowling all-rounder from Gujarat, had earned his maiden IPL contract with Mumbai Indians in 2013, and a switch to KXIP the following season made him a household name in the competition in the years that followed. After being a regular in the KXIP lineup, Axar was snapped up by Delhi Capitals for a whopping Rs 5 crore at the IPL auctionsahead of the 2019 season, making him the second most expensive player for the franchise.

Axar's economical left-arm spin bowling and handy batting lower down the order made him an asset for the Mohali franchise, as well as for India in the limited-overs formats, and Delhi Capitals will be hoping for more of the same consistent performances from the lanky all-rounder this year. Axar’s inclusion in the side adds to the balance in the bowling department, with his left-arm orthodox spin perfectly complementing the leg-spinners in the ranks.
