NEW DELHI: Akash Deep was in his hotel room in Chennai during the opening Test against Bangladesh when he heard a knock on the door. To his surprise, it was Virat Kohli standing outside. The Indian batting star walked in, carrying a brand-new bat. “Bat chaiye kya tujhe?” (Do you need a bat?), Virat asked Akash.
Taken aback by the unexpected gesture, Akash nodded eagerly, grateful for the precious gift.
