On being asked about why he does so, Deep told Telegraph “See, I came to Bengal to play cricket and establish myself in this field. So if I live in those dormitories, I can concentrate on cricket most of the time and avoid all other distractions. I don’t want my mind to get diverted from my goal.”

On his performance against KKR, the speedster said “I just concentrated on the plan given to me, which was to bowl the hard length. I backed my strengths and tried to execute what I’ve been doing all this while. If you win the confidence of the captain and the coach, it does get easier and also serves as a motivation.”
Meanwhile, thanks to Akash Deep and Wanindu Hasaranga’s brilliant spells, Royal Challengers Bangalore registered a three-wicket victory against KKR. It was an extremely crucial win for Faf du Plessis’ men, given that they had started their campaign with a defeat against Punjab Kings.
