Interestingly, since Hooda's international debut, India have won every match that he has played in across formats and he has proved to be the country's lucky charm.

Hooda has now been part of 16 successive wins for India, which is the longest unbeaten streak for any player since debut. India have won seven ODIs and nine T20Is with Hooda in the team since he played his first international match in February this year.
