    🏏 Edgbaston टेस्ट में प्रलयकारी प्रदर्शन

    दूसरे टेस्ट, Birmingham (6 जुलाई 2025): Akash Deep ने शानदार गेंदबाजी करते हुए मैच में 10 विकेट लिए (पहली पारी में 4 और दूसरी पारी में 6), जिससे भारत ने एजबैस्टन में पहला टेस्ट मैच 336 रनों से जीता और पाँच मैचों की श्रृंखला 1–1 पर संतुलित हो गई ।

    उनकी दूसरी पारी की गेंदबाज़ी (6/99) को टेस्ट सीरीज़ की सर्वश्रेष्ठ गेंद बताया गया; Sachin Tendulkar एवं Virat Kohli ने इसकी जमकर तारीफ़ की ।

    England कप्तान Ben Stokes ने भी कहा कि Akash ने विपक्षी बल्लेबाज़ों को “हर विभाग में मात दी” ।

    🎯 Joe Root के विकेट और नो-बॉल विवाद

    Root को आउट करने वाली गेंद थी, जो विकेटों का ध्वंस कर गई – लेकिन इस पर विवाद उभरा कि Akash Deep ने back‑foot no-ball दी हो सकती है।

    Alison Mitchell ने कहा कि Akash का पाँव लगभग 2 इंच तक return crease से बाहर गिरा था, लेकिन चूंकि पहला स्पर्श crease के भीतर हुआ था, नेट निष्कर्ष नो‑बॉल नहीं था ।

    💔 मानवता और प्रेरक संघर्ष

    Akash Deep ने बतायाः उनकी बड़ी बहन कैंसर से लड़ रही हैं (diagnosed करीब दो महीने पहले)। उन्होंने अपनी यह अभिन्न उपलब्धि उन्हीं को समर्पित की ।

    बहन, Akhand Jyoti Singh, तीसरे स्टेज के कैंसर से जूझ रही हैं और अगले छह महीने उनका इलाज चल सकता है। उनके शब्द थे:

    “Don’t worry about my cancer, just do well for India” ।

    यह घटना Akash की व्यक्तिगत आत्मीयता और जवाबदेही को उजागर करती है, खासकर उस पारिवारिक क्षति को ध्यान में रखते हुए जिसमें उन्होंने पिता व बड़े भाई को खो दिया था ।

    ⚙️ तकनीकी और रणनीतिक कौशल

    Akash Deep ने skiddy balls और nagging line-length के दम पर England की पिचों पर हमला बोला ।

    उन्होंने बेहतरीन रणनीति अपनाते हुए crease के दोनों किनारों से गेंदबाज़ी की और Root को चकमा देने वाली गेंद डालकर “pitch को धोखा देने” का काम किया ।

    📈 रिकॉर्ड और उपलब्धियाँ

    उनकी 10/187 की फिगर भारत का इंग्लैंड में सर्वश्रेष्ठ टेस्ट मैच आंकड़ा बन गया; उन्होंने Chetan Sharma (10/188, 1986) को पीछे छोड़ा ।

    यह उनकी सिर्फ आठवीं टेस्ट मैच थी, जिसमे उन्होंने 25 विकेट लिए हैं – एक तेज़ी से उभरते तेज़ गेंदबाज का संकेत ।

    🎉 कुल मिला कर – Akash Deep क्यों चर्चा में हैं?

    1. तेज़ी से पहचान – सीमित अनुभव में 10 विकेट लेते हुए इतिहास लिखा।
    2. तकनीकी प्रभुत्व – सटीक गेंदबाज़ी ने batters की रीढ़ तोड़ी।
    3. व्यक्तिगत संघर्ष – बहन की बीमारी और परिवार की ज़िम्मेदारी में उपलब्धि की गहराई।
    4. विवादास्पद नो‑बॉल फैसले – क्रिकेट नियमों के जटिल पहलुओं पर बहस छिड़ी।
    5. विश्वसनीय समर्थन – Tendulkar, Kohli, Stokes जैसे दिग्गजों द्वारा मान्यता मिली।

    📅 आगे क्या?

    अगला टेस्ट 10-14 जुलाई, 2025 को Lord’s पर होगा, जहाँ Jasprit Bumrah की वापसी संभव है, लेकिन Akash Deep की तेज़ गेंदबाज़ी को देखना रोचक होगा ।

    उनकी बहन के इलाज के साथ-साथ वो खेल जगत में लगातार दबदबा बनाए रखेंगे।

    ✍️ निष्कर्ष

    Akash Deep ने न केवल व्यक्तिगत रूप से क्रिकेट जगत में अमिट छाप छोड़ी है, बल्कि उन्होंने अपनी व्यक्तिगत पीड़ा को लड़ाई में बदलकर प्रेरणा भी दी है। अपनी बहन को समर्पित यह उपलब्धि भारतीय क्रिकेट के इतिहास में यादगार बन गई है — एक खिलाड़ी जिसने सिर्फ विकेट नहीं तोड़े, बल्कि जीवन की कठिनाइयों को भी ‘धोखा’ प्रदान करके आगे बढ़ा।
