After returning from a successful Test series in England, Indian pacer Akash Deep marked the occasion by purchasing a sleek new car last week. The 28-year-old expressed his happiness by sharing the moment with fans on his official Instagram account.
In his post, Akash Deep wrote, “Dream delivered. Keys received with the ones who matter most,” along with a heart emoji, highlighting how he cherished the moment with family and close friends. Fans quickly responded with congratulatory messages and good wishes, appreciating his achievement both on and off the field.
This new purchase reflects not only Akash Deep’s cricketing success but also his personal joy and gratitude. By sharing the celebration publicly, the fast bowler showcased his humility and connection with supporters. It was a memorable way to mark a rewarding week after an impressive international tour.
Akash Deep’s New Car Celebration Paused:
Akash Deep’s excitement over his new car was quickly interrupted. The Times of India reported that on Monday, August 11, the Lucknow RTO instructed the fast bowler not to drive his new SUV on public roads. The notice was issued because the car’s registration process was incomplete, and it lacked the mandatory high-security registration plate (HSRP) and third registration mark (TRM).
HSRPs are specially designed number plates with security features like laser codes, holograms, and non-removable screws, making them difficult to steal. Until these formalities are completed, Akash Deep will need to keep his SUV off public streets, ensuring compliance with traffic and vehicle safety regulations.
The report mentioned that Akash Deep bought his car on August 7 and got a stylish registration number by August 9. However, the RTO later discovered that the temporary registration and the official registration certificate had not been fully processed on the Vahan portal, leaving the vehicle’s documentation incomplete.
The RTO instructed Akash Deep to appear in person or send an authorized representative within 72 hours, bringing all necessary documents related to his SUV purchase. At the same time, the car dealer who delivered the vehicle also received a show-cause notice from the RTO, highlighting lapses in completing the proper registration formalities.
Akash Deep to Miss Duleep Trophy:
After a challenging five-match Test series in England, Akash Deep has been withdrawn from the Duleep Trophy 2025 squad. The Assam fast bowler, Mukhtar Hussain, has been named as his replacement in the East Zone squad, according to a PTI report. This move comes as Team India manages player workloads following a long and intense overseas tour.
During the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in England, Akash Deep experienced discomfort, including a groin injury that forced him to miss the Manchester Test after playing at Lord’s. Although he returned for the final Test at The Oval, he struggled to find his best form. Across three matches, he took 13 wickets at an average of 36.46, with a standout performance of 6-99 at Edgbaston.
