Asia Cup 2022, India vs Hong Kong: Ravindra Jadeja, the buffer for rusty top-order

All-rounder's evolution as a batter in focus as India hope star players Rohit, Virat and Rahul strike form against Hong Kong todayDUBAI: As the Indian players deboarded the team bus for an optional practice session here at the ICC Academy on Tuesday evening, the photographers trained their lenses on Virat Kohli.
