Watch! Deepak Hooda smashes 180 to carry Rajasthan into Vijay Hazare Trophy final

From 2 down with 1 run on the board to chasing down 283 for a spot in the Vijay Hazare Trophy final, this feat was possible for Rajasthan because of one man Deepak Hooda.
Watch his stupendous 180-run knock here

Chasing a stiff 283-run target for a place in the Vijay Hazare Trophy final, Rajasthan found themselves 2 down with just 1 run on the board.

Deepak Hooda might not have been in the best of touches recently, but the he silenced his critics with the bat on Thursday night.
Chasing a stiff 283-run target for a place in the Vijay Hazare Trophy final, Rajasthan found themselves 2 down with just 1 run on the board.
That's when Hooda walked in and turned the tide against Karnataka. The skipper smashed 180 off just 128 balls and stitched a 255-run stand with Karan Lamba for the fourth wicket.

Kohli came out to bat at the number three position, where Deepak Hooda has been performing brilliantly.

He has been out of form for quite a while now and also had a forgettable IPL, where Kohli scored just a half-century.
Meanwhile, Hooda has been in great form lately and put up an impressive performance in the first T20I of this series. He came to England on the back of a hundred and a fiery 47 vs Ireland. It came as a major surprise to many when team management decided to back reputation over form.
Going by the statistics, Kohli has played 3 T20Is this year and scored only 70 runs overall. On the other hand, Hooda has accumulated 184 runs with an impressive strike rate of over 170 in the last three T20Is.

The 27-year-old sent out a huge statement as he smashed his maiden T20I hundred, reaching the milestone in just 55 balls.

The 2022 season of the Indian Premier League is nearing its climax and Team India will be back on the job starting 9th June when the South Africa tour commences. While senior players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah might be rested, keeping in mind their slump in form in IPL, the fatigue, and the upcoming England tour. The likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Dinesh Karthik, Kuldeep Yadav, and Hardik Pandya could make a comeback. If Rohit Sharma is rested, Dhawan who led India to a win against Sri Lanka in 2021 might be given a chance to captain again. Hardik Pandya who has also impressed with his skills may also be picked to lead the national side. The all-rounder hasn't played in the Blue jersey since the end of World T20 due to his back injury. However, Pandya who is back to bowling has emerged as a big positive this IPL season.
Apart from them, Dinesh Karthik's finishing performances for RCB have caught attention. In the run to the upcoming T20 World Cup, the 36-year-old who is RCB's 3rd highest run-scorer with 287 runs at a strike rate of 191 might also be given a fair chance against the Temba Bavuma-led-side. Kuldeep Yadav's return in form is also good news for India.
Just like every year, a lot of promising names came to the fore in 2022 too. Mohsin Khan and Umran Khan who have impressed with the ball might be given a break in the upcoming home series. Besides them, Deepak Hooda has also emerged as a strong contender for a place in the 5-match T20 series which is set to begin in June after the completion of IPL 2022.

Ind vs SA: Mohsin Khan, Umran Malik may get maiden call-up; Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli might be rested

Tap to know the potential players who might be called for the upcoming 5-match T20 series against South Africa. 

The likes of Shikhar&nbsp;Dhawan, Dinesh&nbsp;Karthik, Kuldeep Yadav, and&nbsp;Hardik&nbsp;Pandya&nbsp;could make a comeback

The 2022 season of the Indian Premier League is nearing its climax and Team India will be back on the job starting 9th June when the South&nbsp;Africa tour commences. Senior players like Virat&nbsp;Kohli, Rohit&nbsp;Sharma&nbsp;and&nbsp;Jasprit&nbsp;Bumrah&nbsp;might be rested, keeping in mind&nbsp;their slump in form in IPL, the fatigue, and the upcoming England tour. The likes of Shikhar&nbsp;Dhawan, Dinesh&nbsp;Karthik, Kuldeep Yadav, and&nbsp;Hardik&nbsp;Pandya&nbsp;could make a comeback. If Rohit&nbsp;Sharma&nbsp;is rested, Dhawan&nbsp;who led India to a win against Sri&nbsp;Lanka&nbsp;in 2021 might be given a chance to captain again. Hardik&nbsp;Pandya&nbsp;who has also impressed with his skills may also&nbsp;be picked&nbsp;to lead the national side. The all-rounder hasn't played in the Blue jersey since the end of World T20 due to his back injury. However, Pandya&nbsp;who is back to bowling&nbsp;has emerged as a big positive this IPL&nbsp;season.
Apart from them, Dinesh&nbsp;Karthik's&nbsp;finishing performances for RCB&nbsp;have caught attention. In the run to the upcoming T20 World Cup, the 36-year-old who is RCB's&nbsp;3rd highest run-scorer with 287 runs at a strike rate of 191 might also be given a fair chance against the Temba&nbsp;Bavuma-led-side.

Rohit Sharma opened a bag of tricks as soon as he took over the charge as India's full-time ODI skipper.&nbsp;After betting on young players in the first match, the Hitman continued his experiments in the second match as well.&nbsp;
A fit-again KL Rahul returned to the side and to some people's surprise, he replaced Ishan Kishan in the playing XI. But Rohit didn't open with Rahul. Instead, Rishabh Pant walked out to face the new ball. The experiment though didn't work as the southpaw fell for 18. Former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar questioned during commentary that if Pant opens the batting, then who will be India's finisher?But the move was more to do with Rahul's form as a middle-order batter.&nbsp;

Rohit was also seen altering the batting order according to the situation of the match. He showed confidence in Deepak Hooda in the very first match and Hooda has looked good as a finisher in both the matches played so far. But the question is, can Deepak be moulded into a long-term finisher and become the sixth bowling option in the future? Rohit though continued to experiment and promoted Washington Sundar over Hooda.
The question now is are Sundar and Hooda fighting for the same spot and role? Moreover, Venkatesh Iyer is also in contention for the same role and will join the team for the T20 series. With the ODI World Cup next year, Rohit will have to get answers to all these questions in the matches to follow.
