IPL 2020: Team-wise one batsman who can opt for mid-season transfer
To add more spice and excitement to the league, IPL has come up with the mid-season transfer policy.
6. Kings XI Punjab- Deepak Hooda
After a good auction in 2019, Kings XI Punjab seemed to have finally covered all their bases. They had bought impact players and enough backups. One of the most striking thing about their squad was the presence of several Indian batsmen. That striking feature has been one of the main reasons Deepak Hooda hasn’t got a single game up till now.
In 45 innings in the IPL, Hooda has managed to score 524 runs. He made heads turn in 2015 when representing Rajasthan Royals, he played a couple of blistering knocks and had a strike rate of almost 160 in the season. He was roped in by Sunrisers Hyderabad, a couple of years later, but he couldn’t make the desired impact. Primarily a lower middle-order batsman, Hooda can bowl handy off-spin as well.
In the current KXIP set up, they have the likes of Karun Nair, Mandeep Singh, Sarfaraz Khan and even Krishnappa Gowtham already present. Due to the options at KXIP’s disposal, Hooda seems to be quite low in the pecking order. Hence Hooda can be traded to a team looking for a decent Indian finisher.
