WATCH: Akash Deep dismisses Zak Crawley; Denied wicket by No Ball drama

The 4th Test match between India and England started on February 23, in Ranchi. This match was the debut match of Akash Deep who replaced Jasprit Bumrah in the 4th Test match. However, the pacer will remember his debut match forever as it took a dramatic turn. While bowling to Zak Crawley, Akash bowled a beautiful ball which dismissed the batter. However, it turned out to be a no-ball. 

It was a heartbreaking moment for the bowler as that could have been his first international wicket. Moreover, Akash got a chance in the Indian team thanks to his 12 wickets in three matches against the England Lions. He has had an impressive domestic record as well. Debuting alongside Mohammed Siraj, Ravi Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, Akash will get to learn a lot from the players.

Moreover, India will miss Jasprit Bumrah as he was the prime bowler for the team. With an average of 13.65 in three matches, Bumrah had taken 17 wickets. He has never failed to take India out of any crisis or give important breakthroughs whenever needed.
