Deepak Hooda, the right-handed batsman from Lucknow Super Giants, has been struggling with his form in the ongoing IPL 2023. In the match against RR, he made just 2 runs in 4 balls, adding to his poor form in the tournament. So far, in six matches, he has managed to score just 39 runs at an average of 6.50 and a below-par strike rate of 79.59.
Hooda has been criticized heavily on Twitter by fans and cricket enthusiasts for his poor performances. Many have called for his exclusion from the team, citing his lack of runs and poor form. Others have been more sympathetic, suggesting that he needs more time to regain his touch.
The criticism is not unwarranted, as Hooda has been an inconsistent performer in the IPL over the years. Despite being considered as a talented batsman, he has not been able to perform consistently at the highest level. His poor form in the ongoing season has been a major disappointment for his team and fans.
In the match against RR, LSG managed to score 157/7 in their first innings. Kyle Mayers was the top scorer for the team, making 51 off 42 balls. Captain KL Rahul also contributed with 39 runs off 32 balls. Ravi Ashwin was the best bowler for LSG, taking two wickets.
LSG will be hoping that Hooda finds form soon, as they look to make a strong push for the playoffs. The team management may consider giving him a break and giving opportunities to other players in the squad. However, they will also be aware that Hooda has the ability to turn his form around and make a significant impact on the team’s fortunes.
Deepak Hooda’s poor form in the ongoing IPL 2023 has been a major concern for LSG. The criticism he has received on social media is justified, considering his lack of runs and poor performances. However, the team will be hoping that he regains his touch soon and contributes to their success in the tournament.
