Akash Deep, the emerging fast bowler in Indian cricket, has been making waves after his spectacular performance in the recent Edgbaston Test. Called in as a replacement for Jasprit Bumrah, Akash grabbed the opportunity with both hands, playing a crucial role in India’s victory by taking 10 wickets in the match. His outstanding performance not only impressed fans but also triggered a huge jump in the ICC Test bowling rankings.

Breaking Through in England
In the Edgbaston Test, Akash Deep troubled England’s batsmen with his pace, swing, and precision. He claimed 4 wickets in the first innings and followed it up with 6 wickets in the second innings—an impressive 10-wicket haul in a single Test, especially remarkable since it was his first match on English soil.

A Massive Leap in ICC Rankings
Akash Deep’s efforts were reflected in the latest ICC Test bowling rankings, where he soared 39 places up to reach the 45th position from his previous 84th rank. Outranking many seasoned bowlers in one go is a significant milestone in Akash’s career.
