A nine-wicket match haul often leaves a bowler basking in glory, but for India pacer Akash Deep, it's a stark reminder of the areas needing improvement as the season intensifies.

Akash displayed an impressive performance for India A against India B in the Duleep Trophy's first round, recording figures of 4 for 60 and 5 for 56.

"If you become a complacent cricketer, you cease to learn," Akash commented post-match. "The process is more important than wickets and results; there is always room for improvement," he added. Returning to red-ball cricket after a gap, Akash expressed his commitment to preparation and learning from experience.
