The 14th season of the Indian Premier League is all set to kick-off on April 9 and all the participating teams will take part in their respective preparatory camps ahead of the impending edition. The Delhi Capitals are set to play their initial matches at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The squad has already begun their training sessions in the city. India's Axar Patel is currently stationed at the team hotel and is undergoing his mandatory 7-day quarantine period. The franchise took to its social media accounts recently to make fun of the left-arm spinner.

Axar Patel had an impressive season with the Delhi Capitals last year where he made an impact with his tidy spells. The left-hander is also likely to play a major role in the forthcoming edition of the cash-rich league as well. He also seems to be in spectacular form, and the player was lauded by many for his match-winning spells against England in the India vs England four-match Test series. 

Axar Patel alongside several other members of the DC squad reached the team hotel on Monday, where they remain in quarantine for a week before resuming their practice. The franchise on its social media accounts shared a video of the cricketer sleeping during the self-isolation period. The talented youngster was also seen snoring in the particular video.

Patel had an excellent economy rate of 6.41 in IPL 2020 and was retained by the franchise ahead of the IPL 2021 auction. The Axar Patel IPL 2021 salary stands at ₹5 crores.
