IND vs HK: Watch - Virat Kohli Bows Down To Suryakumar Yadav Following Latter's Sensational Innings vs Hong Kong
In their second group game in Dubai, India made one change to their starting lineup, resting Hardik Pandya and inserting Rishabh Pant. Hong Kong captain Nizakat Khan decided to bowl against India.
It was not the best beginning for India. In recent instances, they have attacked the bowling right away, but KL Rahul essentially followed his IPL model throughout his innings.
He got out for 36 runs off 39 balls and he faced 20 of those balls in the powerplay.
Suryakumar Yadav’s Efforts Helped India Post A Good Total
Suryakumar Yadav though here tonight utterly demolished Hong Kong. The opposition played well in the first 15 overs, but SKY entered the game and smashed an unbeaten 68 off just 26 deliveries to turn the tide of the innings. In the last over, he smacked four sixes, helping India reach 192/2. India ought to prevail at this point. After the innings, Virat Kohli was clearly impressed by SKY’s innings as he bowed down to him.

Virat Kohli too scored a fifty, but it was not Kohli’s most polished fifty, but he undoubtedly needed it. Taking a broader view, it has come off 40 balls, although he had to spend some time in the centre.
Hong Kong won all three of its games in the qualification competition in Oman to get to the 2022 Asia Cup, where this is their opening game. The team intended to use the similar approach against India because the team’s last two victories came while chasing, according to Nizakat. India intended to bowl first as well, and skipper Rohit Sharma stated that the team was concentrated on completing the fundamentals correctly as they did against Pakistan.
