Sanjay Bangar praised Akash Deep's composed batting in the fifth Test against England, highlighting his crucial partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal. Jaiswal's century and contributions from Jadeja and Sundar helped India set a target of 374.

Indian legend Ravichandran Ashwin lauded Akash Deep for his brilliant batting on Day 3 of the ongoing fifth Test against England at The Oval.

Deep faced just two balls on the second evening before bad light prompted an early close, and sensed an opportunity to chance his arm. He dragged the third ball of the day - from Jacob Bethell, allowing Gus Atkinson to change ends - over mid-on for four, then flashed hard against the seamers.
