Axar 'Bapu' Patel was named the captain of Delhi Capitals ahead of the IPL 2025 season and the team so far, has glided well against Lucknow Super Giants in their opening encounter, courtesy of Ashutosh Sharma.
Though Axar Patel, the all-rounder, did not do well with the ball in the match, he maintained a strike rate of around 200 with 22 runs off 11 deliveries. He will look forward to replicating his heroics in both departments and while doing so can break many milestones too. Let's take a look at the list of records Axar Patel can break this IPL 2025.
1. Axar Patel needs 2 sixes to complete 50 sixes for DC
Axar Patel has been a valuable lower-order hitter for Delhi Capitals, often providing quick runs towards the end of the innings. He has smashed 48 sixes so far while representing the franchise. With just 2 more maximums, he will join an elite group of players to hit 50 sixes for DC.
2. Axar Patel needs 11 runs to complete 1000 runs for DC
Axar Patel’s ability to contribute vital runs in crunch situations has been crucial for DC. He currently stands at 989 runs for the franchise from 64 innings, just 11 runs short of the 1000-run mark.
3. Axar Patel needs 1 four to complete 200 fours in T20s in Asia
Axar Patel has a knack for finding boundaries, especially with his clever use of the crease against spinners. He has struck 199 fours in T20 matches played in Asia so far. Just one more boundary will see him complete 200 fours in the format across Asian venues.
4. Axar Patel needs 3 catches to complete 50 catches for DC
Axar Patel’s sharp reflexes and safe hands make him a reliable fielder in the deep and inside the circle. With 47 catches for DC under his belt, he needs just 3 more to complete 50 catches. While this milestone may take a bit of time, early fallout from SRH might even see the completion of this milestone.
