The Bengal cricketer originally from Bihar, Akash Deep, has seen all odds in his life. Losing his father and his brother in a month, during his early days, and now his elder sister, Akahnd Jyoti Singh, battling cancer, this lad has his own battles going on. The fifer fans celebrated last night came out of grit and resilience from the youngest sibling of the family. After winning the Test at Edgbaston, Akash revealed that his fifer goes to his sister. There, he revealed that Jyoti was suffering from cancer, even though she is stable now. Following that, AajTak, went to his residence to take an interview of her. Speaking to the house, Jyoti revealed how much her brother Akash is connected to his family. Akash have two brothers and three sisters; one of these brothers died in 2015. Akash is the youngest. Jyoti revealed that she in the third stage of her cancer, but that can't curb her excitement towards her brother's performance. She said, "It is a matter of pride for India - he has taken 10 wickets. Before the England tour, we went to meet him at the airport. I told him, 'I’m absolutely fine, don’t worry about me, just do well for the country.' I am in the third stage (of cancer), and the doctor has said the treatment will go on for six more months, after which we’ll see." She even said that she had no idea but lauds her brother for fighting his situation at home and still performing. "I had no idea Akash would say something like that. Maybe we weren’t ready to talk about it publicly, but the way he became emotional and said it for me- dedicating it to me - it’s a big deal. It shows how much he loves our family and me. Given the situation at home, and still performing like that and taking wickets there, it’s a huge thing. I’m the one he is closest to."

She revealed that Akash used to visit her regularly either before the match or after the match. She said, "When the IPL was going on and he was playing for the Lucknow team, I was admitted to the hospital for cancer treatment. Even then, he would come meet me either before or after the matches. After the match ended, we spoke twice over video call, and again at 5 a.m. in the morning. Akash told me, ‘Don’t worry, the whole country is with us.’ He said, ‘I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I had been trying to, but yesterday I just couldn’t stop myself.’” She added, "Such a brother is rare. He helps us a lot and doesn’t do anything without talking to us. He shares everything with the family. Since our father and eldest brother are no longer with us, he is the one now managing the whole household.” Jyoti even promised to cook Akash Deep his favourite Dahi Vada and green veggies when he will come home.
