Akash Deep: The boy from Sasaram, who made England dance to his tunes at Edgbaston

Akash Deep didn’t get his desired conditions in England. Excited to bowl with the Dukes ball on a juicy pitch, he instead replaced Jasprit Bumrah on a placid Edgbaston track, but he adapted and rattled England in both innings. His dismissal of Joe Root in the second innings showcased his class and the hard yards he has put in on flat Indian pitches in the Ranji Trophy.
