Zaheer Abbas And Wasim Akram Hail Shubman Gill And Akash Deep For Edgbaston Heroics

By IANS News July 09, 2025 • 19:54 PM View: 470

Telecom Asia Sport: Indian skipper Shubman Gill’s monumental batting and Akash Deep’s remarkable ten-wicket haul in India's resounding victory over England in the Edgbaston Test have drawn high praise from two of Pakistan’s greatest cricketers.

Gill turned the series upside down with a sublime 269 in the first innings and followed it up with another commanding 161, while Deep returned match figures of 10 for 187 to script India’s series-leveling 336-run triumph — a performance that left much of the cricketing world in awe.

Former Pakistan captain Zaheer Abbas, whose own 274 at Edgbaston in 1971 remains iconic, was particularly delighted to see Gill flourish at the same ground.
