Axar Patel India's Third Musketeer
The Teenager Today|April 2023
In the November 2019 issue of The Teenager Today, many cricket fans would have been surprised at my statistical revelation that Ravindra Jadeja was India’s greatest all-rounder of all time.

Axar Patel India's Third Musketeer

At that time, his allrounder’s average (batting average divided by the bowling average) of 1.37 was the best-ever by an Indian cricketer and the sixth best in the world. Since then, Jadeja has fared even better to take that average to 1.51 and displace South Africa’s Shaun Pollock at the all-time fifth place in the world.

On the other hand, since then Ravichandran Ashwin’s allrounder’s average has slipped by a fraction from 1.16 to 1.13. However, rising up the Test arena is now a third all-rounder for India in the shape of Axar Rajeshbhai Patel, and what may surprise every reader is that in a short Test career of just 11 Tests, Axar has an all-rounder’s average of 2.07 which is far better than any of the best-known in the world; Gary Sobers (1.70), Jacques Kallis (1.65), Imran Khan (1.65) and Keith Miller (1.61).
