Akash Deep told Times of India, ‘Virat bhai gave me the bat himself. He felt something after seeing my batting. I had not talked to him about this at all. Kohli bhai came to me and asked me if I wanted the bat. Who wouldn’t want a bat from Virat bhai? He is a legend. I was happy to hear his words.

He asked me what kind of bat I need while batting. I was speechless and was just laughing. He came to me and said take this bat. Not only this, I also took his autograph on his bat.

Akash Deep’s recent form has been quite good

He also bowled brilliantly in the Test match played against England this year. Akash Deep must be praying that he is seen performing well in international cricket again as soon as possible. This young player has bowled brilliantly in domestic cricket and now his eyes will definitely be on the upcoming 5 match Test series against Australia which is going to start in the month of November this year.
