Akash Deep’s stunning 66-run knock off 94 balls in the last Test against England has reignited hope among Indian fans that the team’s tailenders can still deliver valuable contributions. Coming in at number 4, the pacer was initially expected to simply hold the wicket, but he showcased far more resilience and skill than anticipated.
While the innings was widely praised, it also triggered a wave of unusual social media chatter. Some sections of Virat Kohli’s fanbase began comparing Akash Deep’s appearance and performance to the former Indian captain, sparking heated debates online.

Critics of these comparisons point out that such parallels are misplaced, noting Kohli’s lack of impactful scores in recent Test years. They argue that Akash Deep’s gritty innings as a lower-order player cannot be directly compared to a specialist batter’s record, especially when context and match situations differ so greatly.
Despite the online noise, one fact remains clear — Akash Deep’s innings was a standout performance under pressure, proving that even in challenging conditions, unexpected heroes can emerge for India in Test cricket.
