Hooda said while speaking to teammate Suryakumar Yadav on ‘bcci.tv‘
“It was my childhood dream to get cap from either MS Dhoni or Virat Kohli. Getting the cap from Kohli was an amazing feeling. I worked on sidelining the distraction and work on my process.”

“Earlier also when I came in the team Virat bhai was not there. While growing up I saw him becoming a legend and Mahi (Dhoni) bhai was already a legend. It was my childhood dream to get the cap from either of them.”
Hooda said
”Good things take time but keep yourself ready. Obviously, it is a blessed feeling to share the dressing room with Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid. You always learn so much from them. I am just trying to learn from them. My goal is to keep working on my process with the same intent and not worry too much about outcome.”

In the eighth over, Prasidh Krishna stepped into the attack and altered the game.

Prasidh has built a name for himself in T20 cricket with the Kolkata Knight Riders.
