Here is how the fans reacted to the maiden ODI wicket of Deepak Hooda:
Genuinely feel so happy for Deepak Hooda, the way he has emerged from his worst phase after the Krunal incident, got axed from Baroda, had no support except @IrfanPathan, didn’t have a great IPL, moved to Rajasthan and did well. Now playing for India, guy deserves it all ♥️ pic.twitter.com/oLDvn8k2J3
