After his successful stint at the Anderson-Tendulkar Test series, Indian pacer Akash Deep purchased a new swanky SUV on his return to the country last week.
The pacer, who originally hails from Uttar Pradesh, fulfilled his long-standing dream as he bought himself his dream car. Deep subsequently shared his joyful moments with his fans, as he took to Instagram, sharing pictures and wrote, 'Dream delivered, keys received with the one who matters most.'
His happiness was, however, short-lived as he was soon issued a notice to stop using his car by government authorities.

Why Akash Deep cannot use his newly purchased car - Explained
As per The Times of India (TOI), the Indian pacer was stopped from using his new car on public roads. The Regional Transport Office in Lucknow reportedly issued a notice to the pacer, instructing him to stop the use.
