'You Played A Very Good Innings, Now Go And Take A Rest': Akash Deep Explains Send-off To Duckett In Oval Test
Akash Deep: India pacer Akash Deep on Monday shared his thoughts on the controversial send-off he gave to England opener Ben Duckett during the decisive fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at The Oval, insisting that the act was not aggressive or offensive but a light-hearted response to the batter’s earlier banter.
Akash dismissed Duckett for a brisk 43 off 38 balls and was seen putting an arm around the left-hander’s shoulders, uttering a few words that even prompted vice-captain K.L. Rahul to step in and calm the situation. The moment sparked debate among fans, with some calling for ICC action against the Indian quick.
Explaining the incident, Akash clarified that it was nothing more than a friendly exchange between the two.
