“He hit the right lengths” – India captain heaps praise on Akash Deep after his maiden Test fifer

India captain Shubman Gill lauded Akash Deep for his maiden Test five-wicket haul against England in the second innings. The remarks came as the pacer returned with figures of 4/88 and 6/99. The 25-year-old said in the post-match show (via ESPNcricinfo):

“He hit the right lengths and was getting the ball to move both ways, which was difficult on a pitch like this. He was magnificent for us.”

Apart from Akash, Mohammed Siraj also bagged six wickets in the first innings.

After being adjudged Player of the Match, Gill further shared his success mantra after historic knocks of 269 and 161 in the same Test. He continued:

“I am definitely feeling comfortable with my game and if we are able to win the series with my contributions, it'll be great. As I said before, I want to play as a batsman, and go out as a batsman, and make decisions as a batsman. Sometimes you won't take some risks when you're thinking as a captain which you have to do as a batsman.”

The two teams will next lock horns in the third Test at Lord's, starting July 10.
