However, from a tender age, Akash displayed an innate affinity for the game. With his family moving to England when he was just seven, Akash found himself amidst a thriving cricket culture, and it wasn’t long before the sport became a central part of his life.
Akash’s journey through the ranks was both challenging and rewarding. He spent his formative years at a local club in Sussex, where his adaptable batting approach began to catch the eye of talent scouts. By the time he was 19, Akash had carved a niche for himself as a batsman with a knack for anchoring innings, yet possessing the flair to accelerate the scoreboard when needed. Though initially not known for his bowling, Akash developed versatile skills, often delivering crucial overs with his deceptive spin—a testament to his dedication and cricketing intellect.
Making his professional debut for Sussex in 2015, Akash quickly established himself as a dependable middle-order batsman.

Chasing a daunting total, his unbeaten century turned a seemingly lost cause into a legendary victory, sparking a spirited rivalry between the two counties.

In style, Akash blends traditional techniques with modern-day aggression. His ability to adjust according to match situations, coupled with occasional but effective bowling spells, often turns games on their head.
Perhaps one of the most significant moments of his career came during the 2021 season, when he led Sussex as a stand-in captain. Under his stewardship, the team not only triumphed against perennial rivals Surrey but also fostered a sense of unity and resilience that promised brighter seasons ahead.
