Deepak Hooda has been picked as one of the all-rounders in the ODI squad for IND vs WI series. However, Hooda has no international experience in his kitty so far. Moreover, he also did not have an outstanding show in IPL 2021 last year.

Playing for Punjab Kings, the right-handed batsman scored 160 runs in 12 matches at an average of just 16.0. With the ball, he picked 2 wickets. Venkatesh Iyer would have been a better choice for an all-rounder for India.

Prasidh Krishna is another player on this list. With the absence of pacers like Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar from the ODI squad in IND vs WI series, Prasidh Krishna has been picked as one of the pacers.

Prasidh Krishna has played 4 ODI games so far for India and picked 9 wickets. Instead of Krishna, someone like Navdeep Saini or Harshal Patel could have been given a chance in the IND vs WI ODI series.

Kuldeep Yadav is the third player on this list. Yadav has played very few games in recent times. He did not play any match for his team Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2021. The left-arm spinner was overlooked in the playing XI during the 1st leg and got injured during the UAE leg.

He last played in India’s tour of Sri Lanka in July last year, when he picked just 1 wicket in 2 ODI games. The left-arm spinner has struggled with his form in recent times. Axar Patel could have been given a chance in the IND vs WI ODI series on his behalf.
