Axar Patel – Abhishek Sharma: Akshar Patel, despite being the vice-captain of the team, is out of the playing eleven, while Abhishek Sharma's form is not with him. Now, will Akshar get a chance and Abhishek Sharma's form in the match against Zimbabwe in Chennai or not? This is a matter for later.

But, before that, Akshar has caught hold of the coach and made a big request. He told the coach that I have come to Chennai, will you give me something to drink?

Coach, what will you give me? Akshar Patel requested

Before the India-Zimbabwe match to be held in Chennai, a video of Akshar Patel and Abhishek Sharma has surfaced, in which both are in full fun mood. This video is from Chennai only, in which not only Abhishek is seen with Akshar but also the coach of his IPL team Delhi Capitals, Hemang Badani. In the video, Akshar Patel asks Hemang Badani, Coach, I have come to Chennai, will you give me something to drink? tea or coffee?

Abhishek Sharma said- eyes are not opening

Answering Akshar's question, Hemang Badani says that I had thought that I would make filter coffee. But you guys are Jane Ji, that is why I have brought you to Jane Ji's place. In the video, Abhishek is again seen ordering the thing of his choice. At the end of the video, both Abhishek and Akshar say – eyes are not opening.
