Is Gautam Gambhir's wait over? 27 year old fast bowler will set fire on Australia's fast pitches

Akash Deep may be selected for Border Gavaskar Trophy: The second test match between India and Bangladesh is being played at Green Park Stadium, Kanpur. After winning the toss, Indian captain Rohit Sharma invited Bangladesh to bat. Team India's bowlers have once again adopted the Chennai avatar. Bangladesh has scored 107 runs and 3 batsmen have already made their way to the pavilion. Right-arm fast bowler Akash Deep, who took 2 consecutive wickets in the Chennai Test, has also sent out 2 batsmen in Kanpur. In such a situation, the discussions about this wicket taker bowler have become more intense. Gautam Gambhir has got another maestro like Jasprit Bumrah, who can wreak havoc against Australia in the 5-match Test series starting from November 22.

Actually, Team India's fast bowler Akash Deep has surprised everyone by taking back to back wickets in Kanpur after Chennai. In the first day's play, Akash Deep got opener Zakir Hasan caught out by Yashasvi Jaiswal at zero in the ninth over itself. After that, he also showed the way out by LBWing the other opener Shadnam. If we look at the career of this fast bowler, he has played 2 matches and taken 5 wickets in 3 innings.

Akash Deep is expert in swinging both ways

Akash Deep made his Test debut against England on 23 February 2024 in Ranchi. Akash Deep's biggest strength in his bowling is swinging on both sides. He had done the same in the Chennai Test and dismissed both the batsmen on different balls. Akash Deep is also tall in height, due to which he also gets extra bounce. In such a situation, his height can further double on fast pitches.

Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting from 22nd November

Team India's tour of Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is going to start from November 22. 5 test matches will be played on this tour. This tour is also going to be challenging for Gautam Gambhir as head coach. On pitches like Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, there is a need for a bowling unit which can challenge the batsman with its fast bowling. On these pitches, it is important to take care of line and length along with speed.

Akash Deep is a bowler who has decent pace and can swing the ball down the line on both sides. In such a situation, along with Gautam Gambhir, the eyes of the selectors will also be on this bowler during this tour. However, Akash does not have much experience. But the whole world has seen his ability. With Bumrah, Shami, Siraj, he can further strengthen the team's bowling.
