LSG vs GT LIVE: Deepak Hooda RESCUES Lucknow Super Giants with SUPER 50 after early collapse
Deepak Hooda walked into bat after the loss of Quinton de Kock’s wicket and soon saw his team slip to 29/4 in what is Lucknow Super Giants’ first-ever IPL game. Batting with rookie Ayush Badoni, Hooda took responsibility on himself to rescue his side and did so in fine style, scoring a counter-attacking half-century.
Much like Faf du Plessis the other night, Hooda took his time before taking the attack on Rashid Khan, smashing only his fourth fifty in IPL cricket. Hooda stitched a vital partnership with Badoni, to take his team to a respectable total.
