Akash Deep's stellar performance in the recent Edgbaston Test match against England has not only etched his name in the record books but has also brought to light a deeply personal and emotional story. The Indian pacer dedicated his match-winning performance to his elder sister, Akhand Jyoti Singh, who is battling cancer. Following India's emphatic 336-run victory, which leveled the five-match series 1-1, Akash revealed his sister's diagnosis, a revelation that has resonated with fans and teammates alike.

Akash Deep's sister, Akhand Jyoti, has been battling cancer for the past two months. According to Akash, his sister is currently in stable condition. Akash Deep revealed that he had not told anyone about his sister's illness and that he wanted to dedicate his performance to her, hoping to bring a smile to her face.

Akhand Jyoti, in an exclusive interview with Aaj Tak, expressed her emotions regarding her brother's performance and his dedication. She revealed that she had spoken to Akash before the England tour, urging him not to worry about her health and to focus on playing for the country. She also mentioned that she was incredibly happy with Akash's performance, as it brought joy to their family during a difficult time.

Akash Deep's sister was deeply moved by his emotional gesture. She admitted that she was not expecting him to speak about her cancer diagnosis publicly. She was touched by his words and the love he showed for his family.

Akash Deep's sister also revealed that he consistently provided support and motivation throughout her cancer treatment. She recalled how he would visit her in the hospital before or after his IPL matches. After the Edgbaston Test, Akash Deep video-called his sister twice and again at 5 AM, reassuring her that the "whole country is with us".

Akash Deep's performance at Edgbaston was remarkable. He claimed a total of 10 wickets in the match, including a six-wicket haul in the second innings. His match figures of 10/187 are now the best bowling figures for an Indian in a Test match in England, surpassing the previous record held by Chetan Sharma. Akash's efforts helped India secure their first-ever Test win at Edgbaston.

His dedication and performance serve as an inspiration, demonstrating the power of family bonds and the strength one can draw from personal challenges.
