Xtratime Web Desk : Deepak Hooda, is one of the finest young cricketer from Indian domestic circuit at the moment. Playing for Punjab Kings in this year's ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) he has played some brilliant knocks in their first three games. The right hander set the stage on fire in the very first match versus Rajasthan Royals played at Wankhede stadium, Mumbai.



He scored a quickfire 64 runs from just 28 deliveries that enabled his side to win by a margin of 4 runs versus Rajasthan Royals. Apart from that he has managed to score 10 runs and 22 not out respectively. But his side Punjab is struggling at the moment as they are placed 7th on the points table now.

In this context Deepak Hooda is celebrating his 26 th birthday today. Wishes from every corner poured in for the right hander. But probably the best wish or should we rather say best birthday 'guidance' came from world cup winning former India all rounder Yuvraj Singh. He took to Twitter and wrote "Happy birthday to the fiery and determined youngster @HoodaOnFire! Wishing you loads of success for the IPL – keep working hard and hitting them out of the park definitely need to work on those slippery butter fingers in the outfield.” The advice coming from a senior pro was gleefully accepted by Deepak as he gave his reply in the affirmative to Yuvi Paji.
