Q.1 You joined RCB as an intern for the first time. How was that experience?

Ans: I was quarantined that day in Bangalore and Mike Hesson sir had already informed me that I was going to replace washi in the squad. But it was not official yet so I could not tell anyone. I was so happy for the next three days. From the inside as I was asked not to tell anyone. But heck

Q.3 When you came back to the team and played one practice game and performed brilliantly, Did any of the coaches come and talk to you?

Ans: Definitely it is that practice match I believe that got me to play for the team in the tournament. The team realized that I can bowl with the new ball. Even I took confidence from that. I realized players almost everywhere are similar in quality. A good delivery can become a good delivery for any batsman in the world and the same goes for the bad deliveries. Akash Deep IPL 2022

Q.4 But when you got the debut cap finally, did it all feel real?

Ans: Definitely. The biggest joy was getting the debut cap, but the proudest moment for me was getting the cap from Virat Bhaiya whom I admire the most. I have admired him since the day I started playing professional cricket. He has been the flag bearer of the fitness revolution in Indian cricket. And I myself like fitness activities.
