Rishabh Pant revealed
Team India wicketkeeper batsman and vice -captain Rishabh Pant has made a big disclosure about the illness of Akash Deep’s sister Jyoti Singh. He told that I came to know about his illness during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Pant said, “I knew during the IPL that something like this has happened. But some things are better if they remain private. It is definitely a conversation on it, but the more you keep it private, the better it would be”.
Akash Deep dedicated the victory of Edgbaston Test match to his sister Jyoti Singh. During this, he told about Jyoti’s illness. He had said that my sister Jyoti Singh has cancer. He is undergoing treatment. People of Akash Deep’s family were surprised by this, because they did not want to reveal this.
Akash Deep was swept away in emotions
Jyoti told that I do not know why Akash told everyone about my illness. Perhaps he was swept away in emotions. Jyoti told that during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Akash used to take time to meet him and come to the hospital to meet him.
In this season, Akash Deep played for Lucknow Supergiant. During this, he took three wickets in 6 matches. Jyoti told that Akash had become very emotional after winning the second Test match and he talked to me on video calls twice. He told that during this time there was talk till 5 am.
