Despite this, once the senior players like Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and others were back from the second T20I onwards, Hooda was benched. Fans meanwhile were furious with Kohli after he could score just 1 run on Saturday, and despite skipper Rohit Sharma making 4 changes to his side, there was no place for Hooda. 

Netizens meanwhile blamed Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer as they wanted Hooda to be played ahead of the aforementioned duo.
