'I don't think I've ever seen a bowler do that': Akash Deep hammered for 'unnecessary' celebration by England coach, retired greats
Indian pacer Akash Deep sparked controversy on Day 2 of the final India vs England Test at The Oval with an unusual send-off for Ben Duckett. Former England stars called the act 'unnecessary' and criticised the gesture during post-match reactions. read more The fifth and final Test between India and England continued to be full of drama on Day 2 at The Oval. After England's openers made a flying start with a quickfire partnership of 92 runs, India's bowlers came back strongly to bowl them out for 247, giving England just a small lead of 23 runs. Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj were the pick of the bowlers with four wickets each, while Akash Deep took one under his belt. But the biggest talking point, however, was what Indian pacer Akash Deep did after getting English opener Ben Duckett out. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Duckett had smashed a few boundaries, including a reverse hook six off Deep, and looked dangerous. But soon after, Akash Deep got him caught behind for 43 runs. Instead of celebrating with his teammates, Deep walked up to Duckett and put his arm around him while he was walking off the field. Akash Deep slammed for strange celebration This act didn't go down well with former England players and coaches, who criticised Akash Deep in post-match reactions. 'I was just saying many in my time, a lot of players would have just dropped the elbow on him. I don't think I've ever seen a bowler do that after getting someone out,' England batting coach Marcus Trescothick said. 'You see bowlers have many words like we've seen a bit in this series on both sides. But it was just different wasn't it? I was just laughing and joking about it. Ben doesn't really do a great deal. Put your head down and walk off, your job is done at that point. There is no need to walk him off in that fashion,' he added. Former England captain Mike Atherton also called it 'unnecessary' and asked fellow commentator Dinesh Karthik if he had seen anything like it. Karthik said he didn't think it was the right way to behave after getting someone out, but felt Duckett didn't react badly and maybe they knew each other personally. 'He's given Duckett a bit of a send-off, which is probably unnecessary, but it's the wicket that India desperately wanted. How many times did a bowler put his arm around after dismissing you, DK?' Atherton asked Karthik. 'I'm not sure if this is the right way to send off a batter, especially after you've got him out. Not many batters would behave the way Ben Duckett did, or rather did. It looked like they knew each other well,' Karthik replied. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD There were a couple of more heated exchanges later in the day. Joe Root was involved in an altercation with Prasidh Krishna, and Sai Sudharsan gave a mouthful to Duckett after getting dismissed in India's second innings. The finale is heating up with India looking to save the series, while England want to maintain their lead.

Ricky Ponting admits he would have punched Akash Deep if he would have given him a send-off: 'Probably yeah'
Akash Deep celebrates after dismissing Ben Duckett on Day Two of the 5th Test match between England and India at The Oval. (Getty Images) Former Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting criticised Indian pacer Akash Deep for his post-wicket gesture towards England's Ben Duckett during the fifth Test match at The Oval, stating he would have responded with physical aggression if faced with similar behaviour during his playing career. The incident occurred in the 13th over of England's innings when Akash Deep dismissed Duckett and subsequently wrapped his arm around the batter's shoulder with a smile. Prasidh Krishna press confefence: On sledging Joe Root, special chat with Mohammed Siraj and more The dismissal came after Duckett had scored an aggressive 43 runs off 38 balls, including four boundaries and a six against Akash Deep. This was the fourth time Akash Deep had claimed Duckett's wicket in the series, but the first instance followed a period where the English batter had dominated the bowler. During a Sky Sports Lunch break show, presenter Ian Ward questioned Ponting about the incident, asking, "I can think of a few batsmen down the years that would take umbrage at this, and I'm looking very much in your direction. That would have been a Ponting right hook, wouldn't it?" Ponting responded affirmatively, stating, "Probably yeah, probably." The former Australian captain later softened his stance, acknowledging Duckett's composed reaction to the incident. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help!

I would like to have something like that. I mean, you don't see that every day, maybe in a local park game or not in a test match that's been played as fiercely as this series has been played. I love the way that Ben Duckett plays his cricket. I think I like him more now to not to be able to react to that," Ponting said. The incident was part of a dramatic second day at The Oval, where 16 wickets fell on a pitch with unpredictable bounce. India, starting at 204/6, were bowled out for 224. England's innings began explosively, reaching 92 runs in just 13 overs. However, they eventually collapsed to 247 all out, securing a narrow 23-run lead. By the end of the day's play, which was cut short due to bad light, India had reached 75-2, with Yashasvi Jaiswal scoring an unbeaten 51 off 49 balls despite being dropped twice. This gave India a lead of 52 runs. The match remains closely contested with England leading the series 2-1, making this final Test crucial for both teams.
