Hooda will be an asset for team India with his ability to score quick runs
Team India requires a batsman in the middle/ lower middle order who can change the course of a T20 match in an over or two. Deepak Hooda is one such cricketer who can fulfill the role of the aggressor. The 22 year old right hander from Baroda was a part of the Indian team which took on Sri Lanka in the T20 series in India in December, 2017. However Hooda did not make it to the playing XI in any of the matches.

Hooda can strike the ball hard and can score runs quickly. He can be trusted with the role of the aggressor as and when the situation demands.
Hooda also bowls right arm off breaks and can chip in with an over or two as and when the skipper requires. With the eyes set on the 2020 T20 World Cup in Australia, Hooda should certainly be drafted in the T20 squad for the upcoing tri series.

He is also thrilled by the competitiveness on display across all formats in the sport. His favorite cricketer is Sachin Tendulkar and reckons that his childhood idol's dominance over world-class bowlers in the 1990s speaks volumes about his skills and achievements.
