India delivered a powerful statement on Sunday as they defeated England by a massive 336 runs in the second Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham. This win not only brought India back into the five-match Test series, leveling it at 1-1, but also introduced a new hero to the cricket world: Akash Deep.
While most expected India to struggle without star pacer Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep stepped up in sensational style. The 28-year-old quickly grabbed the spotlight as he stunned England, claiming a remarkable 10-wicket haul across both innings and finishing with match figures of 10/187
In the first innings, Akash laid the foundation, and in the second, he was ruthless, claiming six crucial wickets and ensuring England were bowled out for just 271. Thanks to his fiery spell, India secured a commanding victory, and fans, both Indian and English, couldn’t stop talking about it.

Before the match, many doubted India’s ability to take 20 wickets, especially with Bumrah resting due to workload management. But Akash Deep, along with Mohammed Siraj, turned the tide. Their sharp bowling and relentless pace kept the English batters on their toes.
With the series now level at 1-1, all eyes are on the next match at Lord’s, starting Thursday, July 10. Both teams have everything to play for, and fans are eagerly waiting to see if Akash Deep can continue his dream run.
