Akash Deep heaps praises for Ro-Ko

“When I came here, I witnessed a different level of dedication and hard work from the players who are legends of the game, and considered the gods of cricket like Rohit, Virat bhai. I realised that they have achieved so much and are still working so hard during training. Their thought process is at a different level, this motivates me to work even harder,” Akash Deep said.

“”To play for India is every child’s dream. It’s a matter of great pride. But in some way, it’s also a responsibility for us when you’re filling the shoes of bowlers who have contributed so much for the country. I had hesitation initially that there would be pressure, but Rohit bhaiya made things so simple. I haven’t played under such a supportive captain. He keeps things simple, I never felt whether I am playing domestic or international cricket,” he added.
