After India's Win In 1st ODI, Twitter User Asks Aakash Chopra To "Stop Spreading Negativity". His Epic Reply
India cantered to a six-wicket win over the West Indies in the first ODI to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series Ahmedabad. With Covid cases in the Indian camp ahead of the series, there were a couple of fresh faces in the India playing XI. Ishan Kishan got another opportunity to show his worth in India colours while Deepak Hooda made his international debut, with former captain Virat Kohli giving him his India cap. Hooda made an impressive to start to life on the highest level, scoring an unbeaten 26 off 32 as India chased down the 177-run target without much fuss.
However, Hooda, who has 35 wickets in 75 List A matches, didn't get an opportunity to showcase his bowling skills on a pitch that was assisting spinners.
That seemed to irk former India cricketer Aakash Chopra, who took to Twitter to make his feelings known on the matter.
Chopra cited the example of another one of India's recent ODI debutants, Venkatesh Iyer, to take aim at the Indian team management.
"Venkatesh Iyer earlier. Hooda today. Kinda impossible to create all-rounders if they won't get to bowl…Or…perhaps, selectors are picking players as all-rounders but the team management has little or no faith in their bowling abilities," wrote Chopra on Twitter.

One fan wasn't too pleased with Chopra's tweet, and asked the ex-cricketer to "stop spreading negativity".
