India will play a crucial match against Pakistan in the Super Four of the Asia Cup 2025 on Sunday, but an injury to Indian all-rounder Axar Patel has increased the team’s concerns ahead of this match.
Axar was injured while fielding against Oman
India defeated Oman by 21 runs in the final league match, but Axar Patel suffered a serious head injury in the match. In the 15th over of the match, while running from mid-off, while attempting to take a catch of wicketkeeper Hammad Mirza, he lost his balance and fell headfirst.
He was then carried off the field holding his head and neck and did not return to the match.
Indian Fielding Coach Provides Update on Situation
Indian fielding coach T. Dilip stated in a press conference after the match that Axar is “fine,” but he also acknowledged that the short gap between matches could be challenging for the team. With less than two days remaining for India’s match against Pakistan in Dubai, Axar’s fitness seems somewhat doubtful.
