India vs England: Pacer Akash Deep made headlines with his bowling at the Lord's Test, but he has not been able to find his rhythm in the ongoing fifth and final Test at the Oval. In the absence of Bumrah, Akash was expected to stand up and deliver, but he has not lived upto the expectations and that has hurt former India cricketer Irfan Pathan.
‘He could have bowled well’
"The one bowler I am disappointed with is Akash Deep. He could have bowled well. A bowler with a straight seam is very dangerous in the last innings, but that could not happen," Pathan said on his YouTube channel.
Akash picked two wickets in the game - one each in two innings. He was certainly not at his best and Pathan was upset with that.
