Indian all-rounder Krunal Pandya on Saturday (February 12) was bought by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for a big amount of INR 8.25 crore. The Lucknow-based franchise has also signed Deepak Hooda, who doesn't share a good rapport with Krunal.

There was a spat between the two that took place last year during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy after which Hooda stepped out of the Baroda bio-bubble. The 26-year-old is now part of Rajasthan's domestic cricket team.

In a mail sent to Baroda Cricket Association (BCA), Hooda wrote that Krunal, who was captain of the Baroda cricket team, had used abusive language for him in front of his teammates. 

“At this moment, I am demoralised, depressed and under pressure. As from last some days and at least from last couple of days, my team captain Mr Kurnal Pandiya is using abusing language to me in front of my teammates and also other states teams who have come for participation at Reliance stadium Vadodara,” Hooda wrote.

But now, IPL has brought both the cricketers in the same dressing room. Last year, Hooda was part of Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Krunal played for Mumbai Indians (MI).

Here's how Twitterati reacted to Hooda and Krunal joining the same IPL franchise:
