Deepak Hooda leaves Baroda for Rajasthan

Vadodara

All-rounder Deepak Hooda has left Baroda and will play for Rajasthan from the upcoming domestic cricket season.

Since the start of this year, Hooda has had issues with the Baroda team. In January, Hooda had left the bio-bubble on the eve of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The reason behind Hooda's departure was a spat with the Baroda skipper Krunal Pandya.
 
Hooda had complained to the Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) about Pandya's behaviour. But the association blamed him for leaking the email to the media. The BCA banned Hooda for the rest of the domestic season. The association had even reached out to Punjab Kings, Hooda's franchise in the IPL and threatened to complain to the Indian cricket board.
 
Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan, who has captained Baroda, wasn't a bit pleased by the development.
