Deepak Hooda is one player who has been grabbing the attention of the selectors in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League. The Lucknow Super Giants cricketer has already delivered a few match-winning performances for the new franchise and is likely to be on the flight to Ireland.

Deepak Hooda was also a part of the squad for the home series against West Indies and Sri Lanka. He hardly got a chance to prove himself with the top order doing the bulk of the scoring.

Looking back on his previous seasons in IPL, Deepak Hooda has certainly earned his spot in the Indian T20 squad. Moreover, apart from his batting prowess, he can also prove to be a handy option with the ball in hand and is a gun fielder.

7) Venkatesh Iyer

Venkatesh Iyer is one among the many Indian players struggling in IPL 2022. The Kolkata Knight Riders batter was even demoted to the lower-middle order on the back of consecutive underwhelming performances. However, the Indian all-rounder has done nothing wrong when it comes to the international stage.

He has scored 133 runs in nine T20Is at an average of 33.25, and a strike rate over 160. With the ball, he has managed to pick up five wickets, doing the job for his captain when called upon to do so.

Venkatesh Iyer has also shown maturity in closing out games for Team India in the bilateral series against the Kiwis and Sri Lanka. Hence, there is no reason to overlook the 27-year-old all-rounder because of an unimpactful start to the IPL season.
