IPL 2023: LSG vs MI: Lucknow Super Giants’ all-rounder Deepak Hooda’s disastrous run in IPL 2023 continued after the all-rounder got dismissed on 5 in the ongoing game against Mumbai Indians at Ekana Cricket Stadium. Hooda, who got a reprieve in the first over after getting dropped by Tim David, couldn’t capitalise and got dismissed in the same manner the very next over. Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen, who was commentating, called Hooda’s dismissal an ‘Absolute Horror’. Notably, Hooda got an extended run in the Indian team and was part of the T20 World Cup last year after his brilliant performance in IPL 2022 where he scored 451 runs in 15 matches.

However, it has turned out to be a completely contrasting season for former Baroda cricketer, who is yet to cross the 20-run mark in the league and has amassed just 64 runs in 10 innings at a poor average of 7. His previous scores read 17, 2, 7, 9, 2, 2, 2, 11*, 1, 11.
Netizens were also left frustrated after Hooda’s another flop show and trolled the cricketer for continuous failure.
Talking about the game, Lucknow Super Giants recovered well after early setbacks to post a challenging total of 177 on board. Marcus Stoinis played a brilliant knock of 89-run to guide the host to a competitive total on a tricky Ekana pitch. After being put to bat, LSG were reduced to 35 for 3 in 6.1 overs but Stoinis and Krunal Pandya (49) stitched a solid partnership to rescue the team. Jason Behrendorff (2 for 30) was the pick of the bowlers for MI.
