English Cricket Fan's Viral Chant Honors Indian Pacer Akash Deep After Edgbaston Triumph

Following his stellar performance at Edgbaston, where he claimed 10 wickets in a series-levelling victory, Akash Deep has become a household name in the cricketing world. His figures of 6 for 99 in the second innings contributed to a match total of 10 for 187.

India's Akash Deep celebrated with teammates after their victory at Edgbaston.

The young bowler's efforts have drawn widespread praise from across the globe.

A video circulating on social media captures an English fan singing a unique tribute to the 28-year-old outside the Edgbaston ground.

The fan is heard chanting, "Akash Deep, Akash Deep Bowling England Out, Akash Deep!"

Sachin Tendulkar, the legendary cricketer, lauded Akash Deep as the "standout bowler" of the match. He described Deep's delivery that dismissed Joe Root in the second innings as the "ball of the series."

Tendulkar expressed his admiration on X, highlighting India’s strategic approach to the game.

He noted, "India’s approach was to take England out of this game and force them to play differently, making sure that there would only be 1 winner. What impressed me most about the bowlers was the length they bowled. Needless to say, Akash Deep was the standout bowler, and in my opinion, he bowled the ball of the series to Joe Root."

Tendulkar also humorously acknowledged Siraj’s diving catch at short mid-wicket, commenting, "Enjoyed the catch taken by Mohammad ‘Jonty’ Siraj."
