One thing that confuses everyone about Axar Patel is his name. Is it ‘Axar’ or ‘Akshar’?
Here is what Axar Patel has to say about it.
In the show “Breakfast with Champions” with Gaurav Kapoor, Axar Patel revealed how his name got changed from Akshar Patel to Axar Patel.
“So the correct spelling is Axar, but I was in Bangalore for the U-19 camp before the World Cup,” Axar said.
Axar said that they asked for his passport. To receive the passport, he required a license and leaving certificate from school. So he went to his school for leaving certificate.
“When I went to school for leaving certificate, the Principal made it Axar,” Axar Patel revealed.

Axar was later selected for Mumbai Indians and the Indian team, so he never tried to change it again.
“Everything is going well, let’s not change Axar and disturb things,” Axar said while smiling.

Axar Patel’s next assignment will be to face Australia in a 3 match Test series starting from 9 February.
