NEW DELHI: India pacer Akash Deep experienced a challenging series in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, claiming five wickets across two Test matches in Australia's 3-1 victory. Despite his modest wicket tally, the Bengal pacer consistently troubled the Australian batsmen with his line and length, though fortune wasn't on his side as edges either missed the slips or failed to carry.
His performance against Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja in the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was particularly noteworthy, despite the statistics not reflecting his effort. Unfortunately, a back injury prevented his participation in the final Test at Sydney.
