Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Agra, Deepak grew up with cricket as a family project. His father Lokendrasingh left the Indian Air Force and used his savings to build practice pitches in Agra, learning coaching methods to guide his son.
The first breakthrough.
On 1 November 2010, the 18-year-old took eight wickets for 10 runs on his first-class debut for Rajasthan. Hyderabad were dismissed for 21. Later, his work with MS Dhoni at Chennai Super Kings helped bring his new-ball bowling to a wider audience.
India moments to remember.
Deepak made his T20I debut against England in July 2018. In November 2019 he took 6/7 against Bangladesh in Nagpur, including a hat-trick, setting the men’s T20I bowling record at the time. His batting brought another memorable finish in July 2021: an unbeaten 69 helped India win an ODI and seal the series in Sri Lanka.
A new team.
Mumbai Indians signed him at the November 2024 auction and retained him for IPL 2026. Alongside match appearances, fans can hear him discuss swing bowling, training and the confidence needed to return from injuries in the team’s interviews.
