Cricket News: On The Oval ground, Akash Deep surprised everyone by hitting the first half century of his Test career. Picked up the bat and pointed to the dressing room and celebrated the fist. Former captain Sunil Gavaskar also could not stop himself from praising and said, “Very good, well -wonderful youngman!”

Start as batsman

Akash Deep had told in an interview to NDTV that 3-4 days of red balls used to participate in cricket in Bihar. During that time he used to bat. His coaches say that Akash was a great batsman at the local level and used to hit big sixes. His old habit showed color again at the oval.

Memorable half -century

In the Oval Test, Akash Deep started batting responsibly and went beyond expectations. This was his best score in his 10th Test. Sasaram Express completed the half -century with the help of 9 fours in 70 balls. Earlier, his best score in Tests was 31 runs. This innings caught everyone’s attention.

Perfect nightwatchman

The third day of the Oval Test can prove to be decisive for the series. The Indian team came out to play ahead of 75/2 and the message for Akash from the dressing room was clear- to support Yashasvi and save wickets. Akash scored 4 runs without being dismissed as Knightwatchman on the second day. His innings in Birmingham and Lords were 6, 7 and 1 runs, but at the Oval he demolished the plans of bowlers like Josh Tung and Gas Atkinson. The special thing is that this is the first half -century of an Indian nightwatchman in the last decade after Amit Mishra.

Great partnership with Yashasvi

On the third day, Akash not only supported Yashasvi Jaiswal, but also helped Team India reach the threshold of victory. For the third wicket, he shared an important 107 -run partnership with Yashasvi. Akash scored 66 runs in 94 balls with the help of 12 fours. His innings was no less than a treat for fans.

Great sample of focus and responsibility

Akash Deep also maintained his focus the next day. He started in local cricket as a batsman and he has always given priority to the need of the team. During the 107 -run partnership, his batting speed remained faster than Yashasvi. He played like a batsman and fulfilled his responsibility well.

Big expectations in bowling too

This innings of Akash will definitely prove to be very effective for the Indian team. He won the trust of the dressing room and also the heart of the fans. Akash has taken 11 wickets in the last two Tests. He played an important role in winning the team with a brilliant bowling of 4/88 and 6/99 in Birmingham. Now the fans and the team on the oval are expecting them again.
