Lal Akash Deep of Bihar, who made his debut in Ranchi for the Indian team, worsened the condition of England by taking the first 3 wickets. However, his first wicket would have been taken much earlier, but the ball on which Jack Crowley was bowled was a no ball.
Ranchi: Debutant pacer Akash Deep got his first victim in the form of Ben Duckett in the Ranchi Test against England. However, his first victim would have been Jack Crawley had his ball not been given a no ball. In fact, he made a big impression in his first spell in Test cricket. Akash’s brilliant ball dodged Crowley and the ball flew off the stump, but the Indian bowler’s ball was declared a no ball by the umpire and then Team India’s celebration subsided.
Jack Crowley’s stump blown and Team India drowned in celebration, then drama
When Jack Crowley’s stump was blown, Team India and Akash were celebrating, but while bowling, his foot was outside the crease and instead of giving out, the umpire called it a no-ball. However, Akash later clean bowled Jack Crowley with an excellent ball. However, before this, he opened his account by getting opener Ben Duckett caught behind by Dhruv Jurel and then LBW Ollie Pope within two balls. Both these wickets were obtained from DRS.
Akash Deep again took two victims in one over
This was just the beginning for Akash Deep, who dismissed the likes of Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope in the same over. After a few overs, Deep also compensated for Crowley’s mistake. He dismissed the English batsman in the same manner. However, this time he hit the ball over the stump, causing the bails to fly.

Akash Deep has made his debut in place of Jasprit Bumrah.
Let us tell you that the team management decided to rest Jasprit Bumrah under workload management, due to which Akash Deep got a chance to debut. Regarding the game, Ben Stokes, the captain of England, won the toss and chose to bat first against Rohit Sharma’s team in India. Although Rohit expressed his preference to bat first on the pitch, Akash demonstrated that having the ability to bowl first was also a good option.
