Axar Patel Hnry Stadium Wellington Stats

Axar Patel has exactly one verified men’s international appearance at Wellington’s Hnry Stadium: the 27 October 2026 T20I against New Zealand. He did not bat, took two catches and returned 1 for 36 from four overs as India won by six wickets. A complete venue chronology proves there were no Hnry Tests and that Axar did not appear in any of the four India ODIs there, so the all-format venue total is 1 T20I, 0 ODIs and 0 Tests. This page separates that venue record from Patel’s complete international career and New Zealand aggregates. It does not use Basin Reserve records. For the venue’s identity and naming history, see the Hnry Stadium Wellington guide.

Key Takeaways

Axar Patel’s verified Hnry Stadium line is DNB, 4-0-36-1 and two catches in the 27 October 2026 T20I.

His strongest career format by bowling average is Test cricket: 57 wickets at 19.66, including five five-wicket hauls.

The current career cutoff is 4 November 2026. It includes the completed Auckland ODI, but makes no claim about the scheduled 7 November Wellington ODI.

Axar Patel’s verified Hnry Stadium record

The completeness check covers the venue rather than relying on an empty player table. Cricinfo’s complete-format index lists every indexed men’s international at Hnry, while its format pages list 32 played ODIs and 19 played T20Is through 27 October 2026. The India rows are four ODIs (2003, 2009, 2014 and 2019) and five T20I fixtures (2009, 2019, 2020, the 2022 abandonment without a ball, and 2026). Axar’s profile dates his ODI debut to 15 June 2014; the original 2014 and 2019 ODI scorecards also omit him from India’s XIs. Cricinfo’s Test venue index returns “No records found,” independently consistent with the venue summary that says Tests are played at Basin Reserve, not Hnry (complete venue index; ODI venue index; T20I venue index; Test venue index; Axar profile; venue summary).

Date	Format	Opponent	Result	Batting	Bowling	Fielding
27 Oct 2026	T20I	New Zealand	India won by 6 wickets	DNB	4-0-36-1	2 catches

The exact player ground query lists the one T20I row, while the complete venue indexes resolve the other formats: Hnry has no Test match rows, and Axar is absent from all four India ODI scorecards at the ground. The resulting exact venue record is therefore 1 appearance: 1 T20I, 0 ODIs and 0 Tests. The T20I batting entry remains DNB, not a zero score. The editorial policy sets the release and sourcing standard for this evidence.

Career record by international format

The complete format tables below are international records only. They exclude first-class, List A, domestic T20 and IPL cricket. Figures come from the format-specific Statsguru batting and bowling tables, checked through 4 November 2026 (Test batting, Test bowling, ODI batting, ODI bowling, T20I batting, T20I bowling).

Format	Matches	Batting (inn, NO, runs, average, SR)	100s / 50s	Bowling (inn, overs, runs, wickets)	Economy / average / best
Test	15	24, 4, 688, 34.40, 53.04	0 / 4	29, 443.2, 1,121, 57	2.52 / 19.66 / 6/38
ODI	75	53, 13, 918, 22.95, 92.07	0 / 4	70, 581.4, 2,631, 80	4.52 / 32.88 / 4/62
T20I	116	72, 21, 829, 16.25, 128.72	0 / 1	108, 351.2, 2,728, 116	7.76 / 23.51 / 3/9

Overs use cricket notation, not decimal overs. For example, 443.2 means 443 overs and two legal balls. Patel’s Test record has the clearest bowling impact: 57 wickets at 19.66, five five-wicket hauls and one ten-wicket match. His T20I wicket total is higher because he has played many more matches, but the format’s economy and strike-rate context are different.

The ODI total includes the completed 4 November 2026 match at Auckland. Patel made 0 off 2 and bowled five overs for 12 without a wicket; India won by five wickets under the DLS method (Auckland ODI scorecard). That match is not a Wellington appearance and is not added to the Hnry table.

Axar Patel versus New Zealand

Patel’s New Zealand record is a separate comparison from his Wellington record. The opponent-filtered tables cover all grounds and all applicable matches, not just Hnry Stadium (Test opposition filter, ODI opposition filter, T20I opposition filter).

Format	Matches	Batting	Bowling	Fielding
Test	2	4 inns, 2 NO, 124 runs, 62.00 average, 53.91 SR, HS 52	4 inns, 74.1 overs, 141 runs, 9 wickets, 1.90 economy, 15.66 average, 5/62	1 catch
ODI	10	6 inns, 0 NO, 150 runs, 25.00 average, 81.96 SR, HS 42	10 inns, 83.1 overs, 353 runs, 6 wickets, 4.24 economy, 58.83 average, 2/9	2 catches
T20I	12	7 inns, 2 NO, 55 runs, 11.00 average, 122.22 SR, HS 24	12 inns, 43.3 overs, 385 runs, 16 wickets, 8.85 economy, 24.06 average, 3/9	4 catches

The Test numbers stand out. Patel’s nine wickets in two Tests against New Zealand came at 15.66, while his 124 runs were made at 62.00 because two of his four innings were not outs. In T20Is, the sample is larger and more recent: 16 wickets in 12 matches, with the 27 October Wellington wicket included.

What happened in the 27 October Wellington T20I?

New Zealand made 198/3 from 20 overs. Patel’s four overs cost 36 and produced one wicket, Glenn Phillips, who hit a return catch back to the bowler. The match scorecard also records Patel taking Tim Seifert’s catch in the outfield. India’s chase reached 199/4 in 13.2 overs, driven by Abhishek Sharma’s 113 from 38 balls (full scorecard).

That line should not be over-read as a batting failure. Patel was DNB because India reached the target before his position was required. DNB means he did not enter the innings; it does not mean he scored zero or was dismissed for zero. The distinction matters when calculating innings, not-outs and batting average.

The match was also a genuine Hnry Stadium appearance rather than a Basin Reserve record. Cricinfo’s ground profile identifies the venue as Hnry Stadium Wellington, formerly WestpacTrust Stadium, Westpac Stadium and Sky Stadium, with ground profile ID 58899 and records ID 1166 (Cricinfo ground profile).

Venue context and naming

Hnry Stadium sits at 105 Waterloo Quay in Wellington, on the rail-yards site north of the central business district. The official venue history lists 34,500 total seats and describes cricket-specific infrastructure including portable wickets and a target cricket grass height of 10–12mm (official Hnry Stadium history). Cricinfo’s older ground profile labels capacity as 33,500, so those numbers should be read in their source context rather than merged into a single unsupported figure.

The ground opened for cricket around the turn of the millennium. Cricinfo records Wellington versus Northern Districts as the first cricket match in January 2000 and New Zealand versus West Indies as the first international later that month. The official page records construction completion in 1999 and the official opening in 2000. These are venue-history facts, not a current pitch inspection or a forecast for the scheduled second ODI.

The next scheduled India–New Zealand ODI in Wellington is covered separately in the second-ODI time and venue article. This page makes no claim about the 7 November result, playing XI or Patel’s availability. Readers comparing Patel’s Auckland record can use the Axar Patel Eden Park article, while release and sourcing standards are set out in the editorial policy.
