Classical batting technique and right arm bowling at considerable pace saw Akshay almost immediately come into 1s contention from the start of his time at Pinner. The start of the 2019 season saw him in astonishing league form for the 2s, scoring nearly 300 league runs at an average well over 90 while also taking 8 wickets at under 20 each. He spent the rest of his time at Pinner in contention for the 1s. Finished his PCC career with the highest 2s league batting average of anyone with at least 10 innings (49.00) and the rare distinction of qualifying for two league title medals in the same season.
