Delhi: On the tour of Australia, Team India veteran fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah took 32 wickets while performing brilliantly and made many records. On the other hand, young fast bowler Akash Deep left an impact from his bowling, but luck did not support him, so that he could not succeed in taking more wickets. Akash did not get much success on Australia’s fast and bouncy pitches, due to which former veteran off -spinner Ravichandran Ashwin believes that now it can be difficult to get a chance in Team India. However, Ashwin also emphasized that if Akash had been a batsman, it would not have happened to him.
Let me tell you that Akash Deep played the role of the third fast bowler with Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj, but he failed to take wickets on decisive occasions. On this, Ashwin said at the AWS AI Conclave 2025 held in Bengaluru, “This is an inappropriate world. The batsmen get more opportunities, but this does not happen to the bowlers. It is possible that Akash Deep does not get a chance to play another Test, because he did not get much wickets in Australia. But, you will not find any batsman who has been dropped from the team for this reason. “
The career of 28 -year -old Akash Deep has also been affected due to injury. According to a BCCI official, since he started playing domestic cricket for Bengal in 2019, back injury has been his biggest problem. The officer had expressed concern, saying, “If Akash is still, if he has to sit out of the playing XI due to repeated injury, it can be difficult for him to make a long international career.”
Akash has played only Test cricket for Team India so far. He made his Test debut in the domestic series against England in 2024. He has taken 15 wickets in 7 Tests played so far, in which his best performance has been 3 wickets for 83 runs. His bowling average is more than 35. In Australia, he played two Tests (Brisbane and Gaba), in which he took a total of 5 wickets.
