Why is Hooda out? Doesn't make any sense. And honestly I find it very weird that Arshdeep was there just for one game (not that one can argue abt it now).

Got to feel for Deepak Hooda. 205 runs including a hundred in just 6 T20Is at a strike-rate of 170+ and an average nearly touching 70. His time will come 💪 #ENGvIND

Hooda was on fire so they put water on him by making him a water boy🌝#INDvsENG

India have got to make place for Deepak Hooda in this kind of form in the XI. The only reason for them not doing so can be that he's already got his Australia ticket for October.#ENGvIND
