"Has Rohit Sharma-Like Abilities": Gautam Gambhir Backs This Off-Colour India Star

The Indian cricket team is going through a great run in the Asia Cup as it became the first side to enter the Super-4 stage. With wins over Pakistan and Hong Kong, the Rohit Sharma-led side looks a confident lot. Performances from players like Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar are great positives for Team India ahead of the T20 World Cup. However, one player who has failed to fire as expected is KL Rahul. He was out for a duck in the match against Pakistan, while against Hong Kong, Rahul scored 36 off 39 balls. His slow knock came under a lot of focus, however, he has found backing from former Indian cricket team batter Gautam Gambhir.

Suryakumar Yadav sets benchmark in build-up to T20 World Cup

Suryakumar Yadav was still spreading the joy as he walked in for the press conference after his spectacular 26-ball 68 against Hong Kong. India’s T20 stalwart looks like he is having a ball when he is out in the middle these days, and even during the 11-minute interaction, he wore a charming smile right through. Surya’s unbeaten knock came against a team comprising a bunch of semi-professionals, but still, his dominance was impressive. As he propelled India to a target that was beyond the batting credentials of Hong Kong, Virat Kohli bowed to him and decided to walk behind Surya back to the dressing room. Kohli, a man used to playing eye-catching knocks and grabbing the spotlight, was nearly lost in the shadow of Surya’s brilliance. For a man grinding back into form, Kohli was astounded by Surya’s nonchalance while dismissing the disciplined Hong Kong attack on a dual-paced pitch.

Hong Kong Open Badminton Falls Victim To Covid Policies

Hong Kong's top badminton tournament has been cancelled because of stringent anti-Covid policies which required players to compete in an "isolation bubble", organisers said on Thursday. The Hong Kong Open, scheduled for November 8-13, has not been held since the pandemic began and the latest announcement dealt a fresh blow to the Chinese city's ambitions to reboot its decimated sports scene. The Hong Kong Badminton Association said there was "no viable option" but to cancel because the city's anti-epidemic measures -- which follow China's zero-Covid strategy -- differed from that of other World Tour events.

"Looked Weak, Afraid, Confused": Ex-Pakistan Captain's Strong Observation On Rohit Sharma In Asia Cup

In the two matches of the Asia Cup 2022 so far, Rohit Sharma has not been able to strike his old form. He scored 12 off 18 balls against Pakistan and then hit 21 off 13 balls against Hong Kong. Rohit is not just the skipper of the side but is also the team's No. 1 opener. However, he did not have a good IPL and his recent T20I form has not been too great. If the trend continues, it is bound to add pressure on the team. In this regard, former Pakistan cricket team captain Mohammad Hafeez made some strong observations regarding Rohit's captaincy after India's 40-run win over Hong Kong on Wednesday.

Virat Kohli's Reaction To Suryakumar's Knock vs Hong Kong Goes Viral

Suryakumar Yadav produced a blitzkrieg on Wednesday as he propelled India to a formidable score of 192/2 against Hong Kong in a Group A clash of Asia Cup in Dubai. Suryakumar was in a league of his own as he came out to bat in the 14th over and got the big shots going almost immediately.
