When akash deep

Royal Challengers Bangalore's pacer Akash Deep said he had a clear target of claiming a few wickets to make the most out of getting to bowl with the new ball against Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2022.

In the low-scoring thriller, Deep went for 45 runs in 3.5 overs but scalped crucial wickets of opener Venkatesh Iyer and middle-order batter Nitish Rana in power-play, setting the tone for Bangalore's three-wicket win on a pitch where bowling short rewarded pacers with extra bounce and wickets.
