The Bihar-born Akash Deep came to the headlines by taking 4 wickets in India's second Test against England at Birmingham. In the first innings, it was Mohammed Siraj who took 6 wickets, and Akash supported him with four wickets. In the second, he himself took a fifer and later dedicated that to her cancer-suffering elder sister. Speaking about his fifer in the post match interview, Akash clarified that his sister is not stable, but his fifer goes to her: He said, "I have not told this to anyone. My elder sister has been suffering with cancer for the last two months. She is now stable, she is fine. I think she will be the happiest (seeing my performance). I want to dedicate this match to her. I wanted to see a smile on her face." He added, "This is for you. Whenever I held the ball in my hand, your face was in my mind. I want to see happiness in your face. We are all with you."
