Deepak Hooda to Return to Baroda Cricket After Resolving Dispute with Krunal Pandya
Deepak Hooda is set to return to Baroda cricket after five years, ending a dispute with former captain Krunal Pandya and the Baroda Cricket Association (BCA). Hooda left Baroda in 2021 following allegations of bullying by Pandya and was suspended for indiscipline. The BCA has confirmed that all issues have been resolved, with Hooda and Pandya reconciling. Hooda’s return is expected to strengthen Baroda’s limited-overs squad, bringing experience as a batting all-rounder with notable domestic and international performances.
