5th Test: Akash Deep’s Knock Of 66 Was A Wonderful Effort, Says Dinesh Karthik

By IANS News August 02, 2025 • 18:55 PM View: 247

Former wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik said Akash Deep’s entertaining knock of 66 during day three’s play in the ongoing fifth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test was a wonderful effort which in turn has taken the visitors’ to a very strong position.

In the morning session, with the pitch flattening out, nightwatchman Akash was dropped on 21, and went on to hit his maiden Test half-century, laced with 12 boundaries, before falling to Jamie Overton for 66. By then, Akash had done way more than asked of his nightwatchman duties while sharing a decisive 107-run partnership with Jaiswal.
