IND vs ENG | Deepak Hooda should bat at number three, states Aakash Chopra
Former Indian batter Aakash Chopra has stated that Deepak Hooda should bat at number three for India in the first T20I against England scheduled to take place on Thursday. Deepak Hooda was in terrific form during the series against Ireland as he became the fourth Indian batter to score a century.
Deepak Hooda is in fine form and the young batter has done well in the recent past for the country. Last month, Deepak Hooda smashed a brilliant 100 against Ireland and became only the fourth Indian batter to score a hundred in the shortest format of the game. In the first game of the series against Ireland, Hooda did well and scored 47 which showed the kind of form he was in.
