1. India - Deepak Hooda
Deepak Hooda has been simply sensational in the T20 circuit this year. In IPL 2022, he amassed 451 runs for Lucknow Super Giants at a strike rate of 136.67. The Rohtak-born also set the international stage on fire with his batting displays. He has featured in 12 T20I games for India and scored 293 runs at a strike rate of 155.85.
Courtesy of the impressive showings, Hooda was picked for the marquee event. However, it is unlikely the batting all-rounder will get a chance in India’s star-studded playing XI. However, he has scored on most of his T20I runs at the top of the order but with the likes of KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli in the mix, the 27-year-old might not get a chance at the top.
Hooda has shown the versatility to bat in the lower-middle order but has not delivered in that position. Also, India’s team composition requires six bowling options which means Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel are likely to slot into the team. Moreover, in case of injury to any batter, the Men in Blue are likely to go with Rishabh Pant which gives a left-hand option in the middle-order.
