T20 World Cup 2022: Ten players who will be playing the tournament for the first time
There are a number of players who will be playing in their inaugural T20 World Cup next month in Australia and some of these players are capable of taking the event by storm.
1. Deepak Hooda
The swashbuckling middle order batter Deepak Hooda has been in phenomenal form in 2022. Even though he couldn't achieve anything extraordinary in the Asia Cup, Deepak Hooda is likely to be backed by the Indian team management in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
He has played 12 T20 internationals for India and scored 293 runs at a wonderful strike rate of 155.85. He is also one of the seven India players, who have hit a century in the shortest format of the game. He also was the tenth highest run scorer in the latest edition of the Indian Premier League.
The problem however lies with his batting number. In a stacked Indian team, he gets to bat at number seven - a position he hasn’t mastered. If he gets an opportunity at the top of the order, Hooda can prove his value. Other than his batting, Hooda can be a handy bowler and is a reasonably good fielder.
