Watch: Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Celebrate Like Fans in Dressing Room As Akash Deep Smacks Towering Six

Ah, cricket. It's that beautiful game where one moment you can be in the pits of despair, and the next, you're floating on a cloud of euphoria. And no one knows this better than India’s very own Akash Deep, who decided to put on a show at the Gabba.

Forget about just hitting boundaries—Akash Deep turned a length ball from Aussie captain Pat Cummins into a jaw-dropping six that had Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Gautam Gambhir in absolute hysterics. You could almost hear the collective “did that just happen?!” echoing in the stands.

Virat Kohli's Priceless Reaction

Now, let’s be clear: This wasn’t your average six. Akash Deep, the pacer, managed to swing a pull shot so perfectly timed, it was like he’d been doing it for years. The ball sailed over the deep mid-wicket fence, leaving the Aussies staring in disbelief while the Indian bench erupted into laughter.

Virat Kohli, the man who’s rarely seen without a look of intense concentration, was left speechless. No, seriously—his jaw literally dropped, and he had his hands over his mouth as he sought refuge in a seat. A rare sight, my friends. Beside him, Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir couldn’t hold it together, bursting into uncontrollable laughter. It wasn’t just the shot; it was the sheer audacity of it all

And let’s not forget, this came after a crucial cut to the deep backward point boundary by Akash, which lifted India’s score beyond 245, forcing Australia to avoid following on.

But there was more than just an entertaining six. Akash, who was using Virat’s bat (talk about pressure), finished his innings with a cool 27 off 31 balls. He was composed, committed, and, well, incredibly entertaining

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli—ever the animated presence—kept the energy alive from the sidelines, delivering messages via the 12th men and even expressing his disappointment over some of Akash's shots (via News 18). Let’s just say no one was too serious on that day.

When Akash walked back after his innings, he gave a cheeky salaam toward the dressing room, which only added fuel to the comedy fire. Despite trailing by 193 runs, India felt like they had done enough to keep the draw alive, with Akash Deep’s six proving to be more than just a moment on the field—it was a snapshot of camaraderie, humor, and sheer joy.

And let’s face it, in the high-pressure world of cricket, sometimes it’s these hilarious moments that make the game truly unforgettable.
