Deepak Hooda Just Wants To Bat, Bat, and Bat: Gautam Gambhir
While speaking on Star Sports, Gautam Gambhir praised Deepak Hooda for his commitment to practice. The cricket commentator shared that Hooda used to bat 2-3 hours during net practice while playing for LSG in IPL 2022.
“His work ethic (impressed me the most). He just wants to bat, bat and bat. There were so many times when all the other coaches would say that he just bats too much. That’s what I used to do as well. You can’t just restrict someone from batting enough. If he wants to be prepared in a certain way, you ask him to prepare that way. He used to bat 2-3 hours in the practice session. That’s a great attitude”, Gambhir said.

Gautam Gambhir also said that he liked Hooda’s attitude of being hungry for practice.
“He wants to develop every day. That’s what you want to see from a young cricketer. That’s why he is doing what he is doing. He has batted at No. 3, he has batted as a finisher. You want to adapt to different situations. I like that attitude. Guys who are hungry about practicing and developing their skills,” Gambhir further added.
