DEEPAK HOODA
Deepak Hooda is a promising young cricketer, who did extremely well for Rajasthan Royals first and then for Sunrisers Hyderabad as a finisher and part-time off-spinner. He has so far 524 runs in 61 matches at a strike rate of 127.18 with one fifty to his name so far.

However, in the past 2-3 seasons, Hooda has not been able to replicate his success as a hitter and was even benched for most of the last two editions. Therefore it was imminent that he was released and now there is a chance that a team with a need for Indian finisher down the order might get him, given that he can regain form in upcoming tournaments.
