Akash Deep Player Profile

Akash Deep is a right-arm fast medium bowler from Bihar who has worked incredibly hard to reach the Indian cricket team. Born in Dehri, he faced many tough times early in life, including losing his father and older brother within two months. That pain forced him away from cricket for three years. But he did not give up. He moved to Kolkata, met Mohammed Shami, worked on his fitness, and started bowling faster. In 2019, he made his senior debut for Bengal. Soon, he was taking five-wicket hauls and ten-wicket hauls in Ranji Trophy matches. His dream came true when Rahul Dravid handed him his Test cap for India. In the very first hour of his debut Test against England in Ranchi, he tore through the opposition’s top order. Akash Deep is proof that hard work and never giving up can take you anywhere.
