Deepak Hooda: Deepak Hooda, who was once called the future of the Indian cricket team, has not got a chance in Team India for a long time. Deepak Hooda, who played for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captained by Team India's star wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul in the Indian Premier League, did not perform well in IPL 2024 and was seen struggling throughout the season.

When Deepak Hooda hit a brilliant double century in Ranji

Deepak Hooda may be struggling with poor form at the moment, but there was a time when he was known for his explosive innings. In 2016, Deepak Hooda played a brilliant innings of 293 runs in 354 balls and led the Baroda team to 529 runs in the Ranji Trophy Group A cricket match against Punjab. Hooda, who was the 21-year-old Baroda captain at that time, had 25 fours and six sixes in his first double century. During this, Deepak batted at a strike rate of 82.76.

Deepak Hooda's performance in IPL 2024

The 2024 season in the Indian Premier League was no less than a nightmare for Deepak Hooda. Deepak Hooda, who played for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) team captained by KL Rahul, who went with Team India as a wicketkeeper batsman on the Sri Lanka tour, struggled with the bat throughout the season. During this, he could score 145 runs in 11 matches at an average of 18 and could not cross the fifty-run mark even once.

LSG may release Deepak Hooda before IPL 2025

A mega auction will be held in the Indian Premier League this year, so many teams may release most of their players and retain only four players. In such a situation, the Lucknow Super Giants franchise may release Deepak Hooda considering his poor performance in the last season. However, if Hooda performs well in the Duleep Trophy, then a big bid may be placed on him.
