In the ongoing India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test in Kanpur, Indian pacer Akash Deep made a notable impact with the bat, using none other than Virat Kohli’s bat, branded MRF. Akash Deep, known for his bowling, grabbed attention as he sent back-to-back deliveries over the boundary for sixes, surprising the crowd and adding valuable runs to India’s lead.
Interestingly, this was the same bat with which Kohli earlier in the day scored a quick 47 runs before getting bowled out by Shakib Al Hasan. Akash Deep, seemingly inspired by Kohli’s aggressive batting, used the opportunity to deliver two consecutive sixes, further pushing India’s score in a crucial stage of the match. His shots demonstrated not just his intent but also the power of the bat that Kohli uses to dominate bowlers across formats.
The partnership between Akash Deep’s fiery approach and Kohli’s MRF bat added a thrilling moment to India’s innings, making a significant contribution to the team’s lead in the Test match.
