Akash Deep and teammates celebrate victory against England at Edgbaston.

Adding to the excitement, a video has surfaced online showing an English fan serenading the 28-year-old Indian bowler outside the Edgbaston stadium. The fan's chant, "Akash Deep, Akash Deep Bowling England Out, Akash Deep!" has quickly gone viral, showcasing the impact of Akash Deep's performance on even the home crowd.

Sachin Tendulkar, the legendary cricketer, praised Akash Deep as the "standout bowler" of the match. Tendulkar highlighted Deep's delivery to dismiss Joe Root in the second innings as the "ball of the series."

Tendulkar shared his thoughts on social media, stating, "India’s approach was to take England out of this game and force them to play differently, making sure that there would only be 1 winner. What impressed me most about the bowlers was the length they bowled. Needless to say, Akash Deep was the standout bowler, and in my opinion, he bowled the ball of the series to Joe Root."

He also humorously acknowledged Mohammed Siraj's impressive diving catch, saying, "Enjoyed the catch taken by Mohammad ‘Jonty’ Siraj."
