Birmingham Glory! Akash Deep Dedicates Historic 10-Wicket Haul to Ailing Sister

Sport rarely cures, but it often comforts. And in the emotionally charged world of elite cricket, sometimes the sweetest victories are not the ones in the scorebook, but the ones felt quietly in the heart. For India’s rising pace sensation Akash Deep, the magical ten-wicket haul at Edgbaston was more than just a match-winning performance—it was a gift of hope for his sister battling cancer.


 

 

Akash Deep, who picked up a matchwinning haul of ten wickets in India’s historic Edgbaston win, revealed that his sister had been diagnosed with cancer two months ago.

“I haven’t told this to anyone before,” said Deep, his voice steady but eyes heavy with emotion, in the post-match interview. “My elder sister has been suffering from cancer for the last two months. She’s stable now. I dedicate this performance to her. I just want to see her smile.”

In an era where bowlers are often made to toil on batter-friendly tracks, Deep’s performance was a throwback to classical fast bowling—seam, swing, smarts, and above all, heart. On a docile Edgbaston wicket where England’s own pacers leaked 587 and 427 runs in two innings, Deep extracted venom. His consistency, control, and clever use of hhe crease turned a featherbed into a battlefield.

Early in the match, India survived two DRS calls by the slimmest of margins—both umpire’s calls—that could’ve had them reeling at 21/3. Chris Woakes was breathing fire. Instead, Shubman Gill’s twin masterclasses (269 and 161) set the tone, and when it was time to bowl, Deep seized the moment.

He bowled like a man with a purpose, hitting awkward lengths and jagging the ball just enough to trouble every English batter. Joe Root was left stunned by a ball that angled in and kissed the top of off stump. Harry Brook’s dismissal was an instant classic—a ball that started from outside off and curved in brutally to send his stumps flying.

In conditions where India needed skill as much as stamina to take 20 wickets, Deep delivered, match-winning spells that earned him accolades from pundits and perhaps a permanent spot in the XI. His exclusion in earlier Tests—both in Australia and at Headingley—now seems a puzzling oversight.

With Jasprit Bumrah set to return at Lord’s, Deep’s electric form makes it likely that Prasidh Krishna will make way. And rightly so. Because bowling is more than numbers—it’s rhythm, resolve, and, in Deep’s case, a silent prayer wrapped in each delivery.

At Edgbaston, India didn’t just win a Test—they unearthed a story. Of a brother bowling for a sister. Of a cricketer proving he belongs. Of Akash Deep rising from the shadows into stardom.
