Find OutDeepak Hooda during the post-match presentation revealed that he had never opened the batting till this series. However, he added when this opportunity came he said yes and took it up.
“Leave international, I have never opened in my life. (Chuckles) But yes, being a top-order batsman, you have to take on the challenges that you are presented with, you have to cope up with them. You do not have an option, and if you do not have an option then why don’t you go out there like a warrior. That’s how I think. I was ready for that and things were working my way. I am happy about that.”
With Deepak Hooda's performance in the series, the batter has made it tougher for the selectors to ignore him for the T20 World Cup which is slated to take place in Australia later this year.
