"All friends would come and play here" - Axar Patel recalls playing cricket with his friends at his home in Nadiad

He said in 'The Axar Patel Documentary' on journalist Vimal Kumar's YouTube channel:

"This is my main home ground. All friends would come and play here. The rules here were different. If the ball went out of the compound, it was out, one pitch catch was out. If you hit outside it was out, no boundary, and you had to play ground shots. That is why my straight drive is like always in the front and I don't play cross-batted. The boundary was only the front. No hitting out."
