'He Was Very Angry...': Suryakumar Yadav Opens Up On Apologising To Axar Patel After T20 WC Selection Snub

India captain Suryakumar Yadav recently revealed that he apologised to teammate Axar Patel after the all-rounder was left out of the playing XI during a match in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026. The decision, taken during India’s Super 8 clash against South Africa, reportedly left Axar disappointed and angry, as he had been an important part of the squad throughout the tournament.

Speaking about the incident later, Suryakumar admitted that Axar had every reason to feel upset about the selection call. The skipper said he immediately approached Axar in the dressing room and apologised for the decision. "He was very angry and he should have been. He's an experienced player, he leads a franchise. He should be angry," Suryakumar told The Indian Express.

Despite the temporary tension, Axar remained supportive of the team and continued to contribute whenever given the opportunity. India went on to have a successful campaign, eventually winning the tournament and securing their third T20 World Cup title. The episode highlighted the difficult decisions captains and coaches often face in major tournaments, as well as the importance of communication and unity within the team.
