Suryakumar Yadav was at his scintillating best against Hong Kong in the Group A Asia Cup match on Wednesday as he went on to play an unbeaten knock of 68 runs off just 26 balls with the help of 6 fours and as many sixes and such was the brilliance of his knock, that even a batter of Virat Kohli's calibre bowed down to him after seeing the carnage on display. The Indian innings was going nowhere with the score being 94/2 in the 13th over. Both Virat Kohli and KL Rahul were almost going run-a-ball, but Suryakumar came out with great intent from ball one, and made a mockery of Hong Kong's bowlers on a pitch where it was being difficult to hit through the line.

Asia Cup: Suryakumar, Kohli star as India beat Hong Kong by 40 runs to seal Super Four spot

Suryakumar Yadav demonstrated all the right things about his T20 batting while exposing everything that is not quite right with India’s top-three. Surya walked out to bat at the end of the 13th over with the scoreboard reading 94/2 after KL Rahul went for a 39-ball 36 and Virat Kohli still striking just about run-a-ball. When he walked off unbeaten with 68 runs to his name and Virat Kohli by his side with a 59 off 44, he had propelled India to 192/2. In doing so, Surya had put the game well beyond the spirited Hong Kong team who finished with 152/5 having cashed in on India’s two inexperienced bowlers Arshdeep Singh (1/44) and Avesh Khan (1/53). India’s head coach Rahul Dravid, wearing a particularly unamused look in the dugout, will go into the Super 4s with the same set of unresolved issues. As It HappenedThe pitch and Hong Kong’s inexperienced bowling looked non-conducive to the modern-day slam-bang T20 batting till the time Surya took strike. Captain Rohit Sharma’s dismissal for 21 off 13 earlier in the innings at mid-on was indicative of a double-paced pitch.
