Akash Deep Is 'lambi Race Ka Ghoda': Ex-Bengal Keeper Who Saw Pacer's Bowling From Close Quarters
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: With 80 overs of play possible after rain delayed the start of day five’s play at Edgbaston by an hour and 40 minutes, anticipation about the end result was at its high amongst fans. Despite England’s win being far-fetched, the hosts still held onto a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak situation – an unlikely draw.
However, their resolve for a drawn result was shattered by a quiet yet persistent force named Akash Deep, who stood up to be the unlikely hero of an overseas Test win for India. Akash, stepping into the playing eleven at Edgbaston for a rested Jasprit Bumrah, bowled a spell that not only decimated England’s batting order but also lit up Indian cricket.
With figures of 10-187 - his maiden ten-wicket haul in just his eighth Test, including a fiery 6-99 in the fourth innings, Akash helped India seal a thumping series-levelling 336-run win - the first-ever Test match victory by an Asian side at Edgbaston.
