India has aced their way to win the iconic Edgbaston test against England. If anyone deserves a large proportion of credit for winning this game for India, it’s none other than Indian pacer Akash Deep, who claimed a 10-wicket haul in the second Test. This was the second such feat by an Indian bowler ever since Chetan Sharma back in 1986.
In the same interview, Akash revealed that his elder sister has been battling cancer over the past two months. He mentioned that he wanted to put on his best on the field to bring a smile to the face of his ailing sister.
“This performance is for you. Whenever I picked up the ball, only thoughts of my sister crossed my mind. I am with you. I want to see happiness on your face; we are all together with you,” Akash said in support of his sister.

The decision made by the Indian management was largely criticized at Birmingham, as India had faced a humiliating defeat in the first test at Headingley. However, Akash did not step back from keeping up with his duties in England.
Will India consider Akash Deep for the Lord's Test?
India is likely to bring back the ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah into the playing 11 for the third test at Lord's. Citing this, Akash, who was brought into the side as Bumrah's replacement, would be unsure for the upcoming test.
This would hence mark Jasprit Bumrah, accompanied by Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj, as pacers for the India vs England third test at Lord's.
