Away from cricket, Axar Patel keeps a fairly private life. The milestones he has chosen to share, though, have been warmly received by fans.
The engagement
Axar announced his engagement to Meha Patel on social media in January 2022, with a photo of the couple in front of a proposal setup and a short caption: "Today is the new beginning of our life." Meha is a dietitian and nutritionist. According to Axar's father, Rajesh Patel, the two had known each other for around ten years.
The wedding
They married in Vadodara on 26 January 2023. The BCCI gave Axar leave from India's home white-ball series against New Zealand so he could get married, which meant most of his India teammates were busy playing. Jaydev Unadkat, Shardul Thakur and Ishant Sharma were among the cricketers who attended, along with former India batter Mohammad Kaif.
It was a typical cricketer's wedding in one way: it had to fit a short gap in the calendar. Within weeks Axar was back in India's Test side for the Border–Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.
A son named Haksh
On 24 December 2024 the couple announced the birth of their first child, a son named Haksh, born on 19 December. Axar introduced him with a photo of the baby in a tiny India jersey and a line only a cricketer would write: "He's still figuring out the off side from the leg."
Beyond moments like these, Axar says little publicly about family life, and this site respects that. We only cover what he and his family have chosen to share themselves.
