WATCH: Deepak Hooda Strikes In His First Over In ODIs; Dismisses Brooks For 44

IND v WI 2nd ODI: Deepak Hooda gets his debut wicket as he dismisses Shemarh Brooks in his first over

IND v WI 2nd ODI: A lot of discussions and speculations took place when Deepak Hooda was handed his debut cap in the first ODI between India and West Indies but was not given the chance to bowl in the match. However, this weapon was unsheathed in the 2nd ODI and struck in his very first over. 

West Indies batting attack has been struggling for quite some time now and the story was no different in the 2nd ODI, as half of West Indies' batting was dismissed at a score of 76. However, Shamarh Brooks showed some grit with 64 ball-44, but captain Rohit Sharma finally utilised his 6th bowling option, which paid off exceptionally well. 

Deepak Hooda made his debut in the 1st ODI of the series. However, he got to bowl his first over in the 2nd ODI. Brooks and Hosein etched a partnership of 41 runs for the 5th wicket and were starting to look dangerous. However, Hooda struck in his very first over and once again West Indies team was floored. 

Hooda came on to bowl the 31st over of the West Indies innings. On the 5th delivery of the over, Hooda tossed the ball up and invited Brooks to go for a big shot. Brooks fell for it and lofts it over long-on. However, he failed to middle the ball and the ball went high but not far. Suryakumar Yadav settled under the ball and safely completed the catch.
