I Didn't Plan To Hit A Big Shot, I Just Wanted To Finish The Game, Says Hooda
All-rounder Deepak Hooda opening the batting alongside Ishan Kishan in India's first T20I against Ireland at Malahide wasn't on the cards, but a calf niggle to Ruturaj Gaikwad meant he was promoted to the top of the order and gave a good account of his hard-hitting skills, making an unbeaten 47 off 29 balls and assisted by six fours and two sixes to hand India a seven-wicket win.
"Obviously, I was a bit nervous. But at the same time, there will be challenges in life, so I was facing the challenge and I am up for everything. The partnership with Hardik was quick and because of that, we moved ahead quickly in the game. I didn't plan specifically to hit a six or four, I just wanted to finish the game (winning shot)," Hooda told Yuzvendra Chahal in a video for bcci.tv in Dublin.
