Showing no signs of caution, Akash played with fearless intent, striking a boundary in the very first over and going after England\u2019s pacers with aggression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His spirited 66 off 94 balls, featuring bold strokeplay and a 107-run partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal, lifted India to 396 in their second innings\u2014setting England a daunting 374-run target. England closed Day 3 at 50\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Akash\u2019s batting became the highlight of the day, earning praise from teammates. Captain Shubman Gill made a playful jab, saying, \u201cBatters always tell bowlers to contribute. I think Akash has given us a great reply today!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/e2bangladesh.com\/index.php\/2025\/08\/01\/karun-nair-proves-hes-no\/\">KL Rahul also shared his pre-innings advice: \u201cI told him to think like a batter, enjoy himself but also be responsible. He did all of that.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Akash\u2019s fearless knock not only gave India momentum but also reminded everyone that even a nightwatchman can be a game-changer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"i-didnt-want-to-get-out\">\u2018I didn\u2019t want to get out&#8217;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/e2bangladesh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10964\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e2bangladesh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-5.png 750w, https:\/\/e2bangladesh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-5-300x180.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nightwatchman Akash Deep\u2019s bold innings on Day 3 of the Oval Test not only rattled England but also revealed a deeper layer of mental preparation. In the same post-match video where teammates praised his fearless strokeplay, Akash shared the mindset behind his gritty half-century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/e2bangladesh.com\/index.php\/2025\/08\/02\/mohammed-siraj\/\">I slept the previous night with the mindset that I didn&#8217;t want to get out,\u201d said the 28-year-old. \u201cIf I get a good ball, then it&#8217;s fine. But I shouldn&#8217;t do something erratic, even if that means I get hit on the body. I wanted to play.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added how much the team\u2019s needs shaped his approach. \u201cWhen the team needed me to stay out there, I had a 100+ partnership with Jaisu (Yashasvi Jaiswal). That is very special for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Akash\u2019s mental toughness and selfless intent stood out, especially for a player sent in just to shield the top order. His clarity of thought and commitment under pressure turned what could have been a brief cameo into one of the most talked-about moments of the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sign-up-fast-for-e-2-bet-and-enjoy-a-free-bonus-on-your-first-registration\">Sign Up Fast For&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/e2bangladesh.com\/\">E2Bet<\/a>&nbsp;And Enjoy A Free Bonus On Your First Registration!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/e2bangladesh.com\/index.php\/e2bet-bonus\/\">How To Get Free Bonus On E2Bet<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/e2bangladesh.com\/\">What is E2bet<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shubman Gill and KL Rahul Praise Akash Deep&#8217;s Gritty Knock Under Pressure on Day 3 at The Oval.
