Akash Deep and Ben Duckett have stunned one and all with their surprising and heartwarming gesture on Day 3 of the ongoing fifth and final Test between India and England at The Oval.

Akash Deep, who came in as a nightwatchman late on Day 2, is now making headlines not just for his gritty batting but also for a moment of true sportsmanship that silenced the entire noise on social media. The Indian bowler walked in with India struggling at 70/2.

Many were expecting that Akash couldn't trouble the hosts, but instead of just blocking out deliveries, the pacer went on to build a solid partnership that has crossed the 55-run mark with opener Yashasvi Jaiswal on Day 3. The tailender-turned-hero is batting on 32 off 50 balls, helping push India's lead to a promising 128 runs and frustrating the English attack.

Not just that, he also recreated the Day 2 drama. On Day 2, Akash had given a fiery send-off to Ben Duckett, and even he was seen wrapping his hand around the England opener's shoulder and exchanging a few tense words, which drew mixed reactions from the cricket fraternity.

They were seen chatting and smiling, with Akash gently placing a hand on Duckett's shoulder, and this warm gesture is winning the hearts on social media, clearing all the air over the Day 2 drama.
