Deepak Hooda has been in stunning form in recent games, however, he wasn’t chosen for the second and third T20I vs England. Hooda scored a stunning century against Ireland in the second T20I and followed it up with another impressive outing vs England in the first T20I.
Despite this, once the senior players like Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and others were back from the second T20I onwards, Hooda was benched. Fans meanwhile were furious with Kohli after he could score just 1 run on Saturday, and despite skipper Rohit Sharma making 4 changes to his side, there was no place for Hooda.
Netizens meanwhile blamed Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer as they wanted Hooda to be played ahead of the aforementioned duo.

Why is Shreyas Iyer playing ahead of Deepak Hooda?

Believe Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer had been scoring so much runs over Hooda and Ishan Kishan that we as cricket fans haven’t seen. Virat Kooda over Deepak Hooda. Well deserved#ENGvsIND #INDvsENG #ViratKohli #RohitSharma #T20Cricket
