Right-arm pacer Akash Deep, who is playing his first Test match for India in the fourth test in Ranchi against Englandwas touted for his huge success and made an instant impact with his performance right away, says his Bengal team selector Subhomoy Das while speaking to My Khel in a recent interview.

In fact, Akash Deep has taken England by storm as he has collected 3 of the 5 wickets that fell in the first session. After a good start given by the opening batsmen Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett, the English contingent suffered a dramatic high-profile collapse on a Ranchi surface that has produced an uneven amount of bounce so far.

Akash Deep shines with 3 wickets from Duckett, Crawley and Pope

The Bihar-born Bengal state team bowler in the domestic circuit had claimed his first Test wicket long before the 10th as he mistakenly bowled a no-ball before making amends. Akash Deep first brought about the dismissal of the English contingent’s only Third Test centurion, Ben Duckett, with a quick long ball that took his outside lead into the gloves of Dhruv Jurel.

2 balls later, in the 10th over, the Bengal pacer cleared the stumps with an unplayable swinger from Duckett’s partner Zak Crawley for 42 runs. Both English openers were sent back to the pavilion in just a matter of time and just one over later, Akash was at it again.

This time he caught LBW from No. 3 hitter Ollie Pope, whose decision to shuffle down the track proved costly. Then it was time for the spinners to join the party with Ravichandran Ashwin claiming his 502nd Test wicket by trapping Jonny Bairstow and third Test man of the match Ravindra Jadeja removed captain Ben Stokes with another LBW of a ball that was kept extremely low or not. bounce at all after throwing.

The visitors were 112/5 before lunch and most of the credit must go to Akash Deep, who is experiencing a dream debut much like Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel did in the previous Test.
