IND vs WI: 3 Undeserving Indian Players Who Made It To The ODI Squad

3. Deepak Hooda

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.
