Deepak Hooda is going through a rough patch for Lucknow Super Giants, after being dropped in the previous match, Krunal Pandya recalled Hooda for the match against Mumbai Indians but the Indian all-rounder failed to capitalize on the opportunity.
Hooda came in to open the innings for LSG alongside Quinton de Kock after he was invited to bat first by Rohit Sharma, who won the toss and elected to bowl.
The 28-year-old managed just five runs in 7 balls as his struggles during the ongoing IPL 2023 season continued against MI on Tuesday, May 16.
Hooda has managed only 64 runs in 10 innings for Lucknow at a forgettable average of 7.11, with his highest score being 17 this season, which is a stark contrast to his performance last season.
