Exer also has good leadership skills, and he displayed him during the recent edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) captaining Delhi Capital (DC).
Earlier in the year, Exer Patel was named as Bharat T20I Vice-Captain, but the role has been taken away by the BCCI on the return of Shubman Gill for the Asia Cup 2025.
Meanwhile, speaking on his official YouTube channel, Ajinkya Rahane said that Exer Patel can bowl at any stage of the game, and his batting is also really good. He said:
“I think he is a very rare player. He has improved as a player, as a cricketer in the last two to three years. He has really done well. Whenever he has got a chance as a batsman, as a bowler, he has really performed well for the team. He can bowl with a new ball in Powerplay.
Let’s not forget about their fielding ability – Ajinkya Rahane
Ajinkya Rahane further said that Exer Patel is also very fast on the ground and supported him to perform well in the Asia Cup 2025.
“As a captain, when you have players like Exer Patel in the team, you are always happy. Come, don’t forget about their fielding ability. And at the same time, Asia Cup is in Dubai. Most, perhaps, wickets will be favoring the spinners. Therefore, Xer’s skill work and experience will also work for the team.”
In particular, Exer Patel has played 71 T20I matches for the India National Cricket Team and scored 535 runs while taking 71 wickets.
Hardik’s role in this Asia Cup will really be important – Ajinkya Rahane
Talking about India’s other premiere all -rounder, Hardik Pandya, Ajinkya Rahane, the Mumbai Indians (MI) captain would have to play an important role with ball and chip in four overs in most matches of the Asia Cup. He explained in detail:
“Hardik’s role in this Asia Cup will be really important. As an all-rounder, he has really performed well for the team in the past. As a batsman on number 5 and 6, creating that effect, playing with a high strike rate, reading the situation, reading, and playing accordingly, playing it all. I sure that he can do it again.
“What I want to see from Hardik is bowling his four overs for the team. If he can do so, bowl those four overs, the team can really balance a very good balance.”
