Axar Patel Reveals Hilarious Post-World Cup Interview Dilemma
India's historic T20 World Cup triumph in June 2023 continues to provide captivating behind-the-scenes anecdotes. All-rounder Axar Patel recently shared a hilarious incident involving himself and fast bowler Mohammed Siraj during a celebratory episode of "The Great Indian Kapil Show."
As the Indian team erupted in joy after their thrilling seven-run victory over South Africa, Axar and Siraj faced an unexpected dilemma. While their teammates reveled in the moment, the duo found themselves in a predicament.
"Siraj told everyone, 'Arre DK bhai ne mera English mein interview le liya. Itne saare log hain, sabko English aati hai. Hum dono ko hi kyu pakda English ke liye, pata nahi (Dinesh Karthik took our interview in English; all others know English, then why did he catch hold of us I don't know)," Axar narrated, sending the audience into fits of laughter.
Accompanying Axar on the show were India captain Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, and Shivam Dube. The anchor, Kapil Sharma, couldn't resist asking Axar if he had indeed given the interview in English.
"Haan diya na, mujhe hi nahi pata mai kya bola. Siraj to aadha interview chhod ke bhaag gaya, bola 'meri jitni English thi khatam ho gayi hai' (yes, we did; but even I don't know what I said; Siraj left the interview in between saying that his English vocabulary finished)," Axar replied, eliciting more laughter from the crowd.
The incident highlights the camaraderie and lighthearted moments shared by the Indian team during their historic triumph. Despite the pressure and intensity of the tournament, the players found time for humor and shared experiences that will undoubtedly be cherished for years to come.
