We are talking about Deepak Hooda and Krunal Pandya, who are playing for the same franchise (Lucknow Super Giants) in the IPL 2022. What controversies went down between the two isn't news to anyone. The relationship between the two Baroda players went sour during Ranji Trophy. Things got worse to a level that Krunal even threatened Deepak Hooda that he would destroy the latter's career.

However, after the IPL 2022 mega auction, these two were bought by the same franchise and fans were eager to see as to how these two players would behave with each other while playing for the same team. However, what was witnessed in the Gujarat vs Lucknow match shocked all the fans. Maybe this was influenced by playing for the same team or being mentored by Gautam Gambhir, these two players forgot their grudged and became dedicated teammates.
Firstly, when Deepak was thrashing during his batting in the first innings, Krunal Pandya was seen clapping and cheering for his teammate. And when LSG came out to the field, when Hooda completed a catch in the first over itself to dismiss Shubman Gill, Krunal ran towards Deepak and hugged him in celebration.
