Former cricketer Ravi Shastri feels throwing Akash Deep into the mix for the Adelaide Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series will offer a different attacking option to India against Australia. On Friday, the touring party will step inside Adelaide Stadium, a venue where one of the darkest chapters in the history of Indian cricket was written. Four years ago, India folded on 36/9, their lowest total in the history of Test cricket. Harshit Rana made waves in his Test debut for India in Perth against a deadly Australian batting line-up. After India bundled out on 150, Harshit teamed with Mohammed Siraj to offer the ideal backup to pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. In the first innings, Harshit delivered by returning with figures of 3/48 in a 15.2-over spell. However, it was in the second spell that he started to fade away as the Perth Test strip turned placid while still offering bounce.
