There was a lot of talk about Krunal Pandya and Deepak Hooda playing for the same team – Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League. The franchise spent INR 8.25 crore for Krunal, while Hooda got INR 5.75 crore, at the auctions.
On Monday, the fans were overjoyed by the duo sharing a good on-field camaraderie during the team’s opening clash against Gujarat Titans in IPL 2022. Deepak and Krunal were seen hugging each other on the field while celebrating a wicket.
In the first over of the second innings, Deepak Hooda took a catch to dismiss Shubman Gill of Dushmantha Chameera’s bowling. After taking the catch, Deepak and Krunal hugged each other, celebrating the wicket.
Last year, Deepak had accused Krunal of abusing him and threatening him to end his career. After which, Deepak walked out of the bio-bubble. The all-rounder left the Baroda team after the incident.
