Akash Deep Oli removes Pope and Harry Brook
On the first ball of the 20th over, Akash Deep got rid of star England Batter Oli Pope with a spectacular delivery. He delivered a back-off-a-length delivery around the off-stump for the Pope, and the England batsman carried forward the rescue.
However, the ball defeated the Pope’s bat and hit him behind the elbow before rolling on the stump. Akash made a deep jump after dismissing the Pope for 24 runs and roared in joy. In addition, this was the third time Akash rejected the Pope in 20 balls in Test cricket.
Pesar of Bengal rejected Harry Brook in the 22nd over and provided India with another huge success. Akash bowled a sensational nip-jaker, who shocked the England batsman and killed him on the back leg.
The on-field umpire immediately raised his finger, inspiring Akash to celebrate wildly with his comrades. However, Harry Brook was not satisfied with the Umpire’s decision and made a review, only to burn it and walk back with 23 runs in his bag.

Deep has actually got an pronunciation movement – Kumar Sangakkara
Speaking on Sky Sports after the Pope’s wicket, Kumar Sangakkara appreciated the Akash for using the angles really well. He said:
“Perhaps this is the correct end for the deepest! He is accurate, the skidy and ran a little bit of the Pope with an additional bounce. Deep has actually made pronunciation movement, used well angles. It is something about his release that is very effective.”
Apart from this, Paer Akash of Bengal proved Ravi Shastri wrong because the former head coach of India questioned his introduction to Mohammad Sirraj for 5 days before.
“I can’t believe that the senior most bowler, the person who has taken maximum wickets in the game is not bowling,” Shastri said in the air.
He said, “Mohammad Sirj, six in the first innings, one of the other. He is watching from mid-on because his junior partners are bowling. He would have been hoping that he would strike, otherwise he would be itching to get the ball,” he said.
Ravi Shastri also advised India to be ultra-aggressive with the ball on the last day. He said:
“The ball is only 17 overs, so you can attack for the next 10-12 overs. Perhaps another slip? The circumstances will be easier to bat and batting against their general style is a good challenge for England. The correct mixture will be normal cricket without taking extra risks.”
