India star Akash Deep was the centre of discussion after play on Day 2 as the star seamer hogged the internet for wrong reasons after a send-off to Ben Duckett. Notably, the hosts got off to a flying start in their first innings, following which the England opener proved Deep with 'You Can't Get Me Out Here' remark.

The right-arm seamer sent Duckett packing in the same over, after which Deep put his arms around the England opener shoulder and hurled a few remarks, probably reminding him of his recent remarks.

The move was heavily criticised by the fans and the pundits across both teams. The former cricketers turned analyst felt that Duckett did his job and Akash Deep had no reason to sledge him, probably risking himself a sanction from the ICC. 

However, in the latest events, all is well between Akash Deep and Ben Duckett as the duo shared a hug while the India seamer walked to bat on Day 3. The moment went viral as the fans appreciated that the issue was sorted between the two international stars.

Akash Deep can't stay away from the news as the right-arm seamer hogged the headlines for wrong reasons on Day 2, but turned the course of the game with his batting on Day 3. Notably, Deep was forced to bat late on Day 2 as night watchman.

However, Akash Deep added valuable runs to the total and at the time of writing, he has moved into the fourties and is batting on 43 (65), which featured seven fours. Meanwhile, India have put 146/2 on the board, with a lead of 123 runs.
