English fan sang a song for Aakash Deep

After the match, Aakash Deep received a very special gift. An English fan sang a song for him outside the stadium. This song was composed to the famous ‘Let it be’ tune. This moment was very special for Aakash because very few players get such respect on foreign land, especially to a new bowler.

Tradition of songs in cricket

Like football, cricket fans in England also make songs and chants for the players. But it is rarely seen for a foreign player to give this kind of respect. This proves that Aakash Deep has made a place in the hearts of fans not only with his bowling, but also with his story.

Gill’s captaincy and bowlers

India made a great comeback after the defeat in Leeds in the first Test. Captain Shubman Gill scored a total of 430 runs in both innings. At the same time, Mohammad Siraj and Aakash Deep did wonders with the new ball. The special thing is that the pitch was not helpful for the fast bowlers, yet both of them harassed the top batsmen of England.

In the absence of Bumrah, Siraj and Aakash Purch

When Jasprit was not Bumrah, people did not expect much from India’s fast bowlers. But Siraj and Aakash Deep shocked everyone. Aakash took 6 wickets in the second innings and became a man of the match with 10 wickets in total. Siraj also took 7 wickets in both innings.

Win of dedicated to sister

After the match, the interview of Aakash Deep also touched everyone’s heart. He told that his elder sister had a cancer detect two months ago. He had not told this to anyone till now.

He said, “I did not tell anyone. My elder sister has cancer. Now she is fine and stable. I dedicate this performance to him.”

When he was asked a message for the sister, he said, “Sister, this is for you. Every time I used to take the ball in my hand, you used to remember your face. I just wanted to see you smiling. We are all with you.”

No help from the pitch

In the last session of the fourth day of the match, Aakash gave India a great start by dismissing Ben Docket and Joe Root. On the fifth day, he appeared in form again in the morning and quickly dismissed Oli Pope and Harry Brook. The pitch was flat, but Aakash bowled with her heart and also left behind the legendary England bowlers.

Said to enjoy victory

After the match, Aakash said, “We just have to live in the present. We did well in batting, bowling and fielding – all three. Now just enjoy this victory and live in the moment.”
