Akash’s brother told unheard things
The fast bowler hailing from Roorkee, Uttarakhand is known for his tee bowling. The 29-year-old fast bowler is a civil engineer by profession. But, without trying his hand in this field, he started playing the game of cricket with a tennis ball. At the same time, the entire Roorkee had seen the match between Mumbai and Lucknow. After the match, seeing Akash’s brilliant performance, his neighbors and townspeople came to congratulate his elder brother Ashish. While talking to India Today, Ashish said,
“The thing with Rohit bhai is that he gives chances to players. He trusts his players and backs them. A new player is always apprehensive about his position in the team. And Rohit has removed that fear and Akash is now working.”
Akash lives up to the trust of Mumbai
The Mumbai franchise included him in the team in the year 2022. He has a lot of faith in the sky. But, he managed to prove himself against Lucknow and kept the confidence in him by skipper Rohit. To this he further said,
“When Suryakumar got injured in 2022, with 2/3 matches remaining, MI announced him as the batsman’s replacement. This was his way of showing faith in Akash that he will be selected for the IPL 2023 team. Rohit told him that he will get a chance to play in the 2023 season.
Got a chance after engineering
Akash was fond of playing since childhood. He could never stay away from cricket. Further on this he said that,
“When he was working after his engineering, people would come every day and say don’t go to work today, play in our team and we will pay you. And from there after the trial in Uttarakhand, it turned into a leather ball.”
“Nobody allowed him to play here. There was a lot of fear of his bowling. Therefore, he was banned from local tournaments. There was an atmosphere of fear. Akash used to play outside Roorkee. “But yeah, his tennis ball days are over. He’s very happy right now.”
Significantly, Akash had taken 5 wickets by spending just 5 runs against Lucknow. By doing this feat, he has equaled former veteran bowler Anil Kumble.
