The fast bowler for the Indian cricket team, Akash Deep, two days before the first Test match against Bangladesh in Chennai, finally shared the story behind the present he received from star batsman Virat Kohli. Virat gave one of his own bats to Akash Deep, a teammate at Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), during the pre-match camp. During a recent conversation, Akash Deep talked about the touching occasion and revealed that Kohli made the decision to give him the bat. He went on to say that it was a significant gift for him and that he would keep it in his room as a memento.
“Virat bhaiya gave me the bat himself; khud se bat diya tha.” I guess he noticed something about my batting. He approached me and said, “Bat chaiye kya tujhe,” even though I hadn’t asked for it. Who wouldn’t want to receive a bat from Virat Khan? He is a legendary person. Hearing those comments made me very excited, and I wanted the bat. During an interview with Times of India, Akash Deep stated, “He asked me what kind of bat I use when batting, and I just smiled—I didn’t have words.”
‘Yeh le, rakh le yeh bat,’ he exclaimed thereafter. It’s a huge present from Virat bhaiya, and I would never use it for anything other than display it as a memento on my room wall. “I obtained his signature on the bat as well,” he continued.
Right-arm pacer Akash Deep has received appreciation for his excellent bowling abilities from former Indian batter Manoj Tiwary. Tiwary also expressed his belief that when Akash Deep performs in foreign settings, he would be in the company of some of the greatest bowlers in history.Akash kept his place in the present first Test against Bangladesh in Chennai after making an outstanding Test debut against England earlier this year. On the second day of the match, he wrecked havoc with his pace, taking two wickets in an over.
“Akash Deep’s talent was immediately apparent when he joined the senior squad from the U23 squad. In order to translate his talent into a performance, he has put in a great deal of work and made all the necessary sacrifices. He is an industrious and composed player. “In Indian conditions thus far, he has shown remarkable performance.” Imagine that he would rank among the greatest bowlers when he plays in foreign circumstances like Australia, England, or South Africa, Tiwary said IANS.
