Indian pacer Akash Deep delivered a career-best performance in the 2nd Test against England, claiming 10 wickets and dedicating the feat to his sister, who is battling cancer. “Every time I had the ball in my hand, her thoughts crossed my mind,” said an emotional Akash, speaking to Cheteshwar Pujara post-match. The Bengal speedster played a vital role in India’s 336-run victory at Edgbaston. He revealed his sister’s diagnosis two months ago and said the win will bring “some smiles back.” Akash’s strategic bowling, including dismissals of Joe Root and Harry Brook, showcased his maturity on the global stage.
