Some Lesser Known Facts
Hodge preferred being a fast bowler over a batsman as a child, but his short stature hindered his bowling aspirations. | |
Dean Jones affectionately called him "Glovelick" when he shared a bunk bed with his brother during his debut for Victorian Bushrangers, earning him the nickname "Bunkie." | |
Despite his stellar batting average of over 55, Hodge was unfortunate to not receive any further chances in Test cricket after playing six matches for Australia during their dominant era. | |
Hodge joined the IPL in 2008 with the Kolkata Knight Riders, but in 2012, the Rajasthan Royals acquired him for $475,000, surpassing his base price of $200,000. Later, he transitioned to coaching the Gujarat Lions in 2016. |
