If KL Rahul continues to bat like he did against Hong Kong, we might see a bit of a change: Rohan Gavaskar
Asia Cup Group A match against Hong Kong, then a change will be a possibility in the opening combination. In India's 40-run win over Hong Kong at the Dubai International Stadium on Wednesday, Rahul was a far shadow of his fluent self. On a slow pitch and with Hong Kong bowlers operating at a slower pace, Rahul struggled to time the ball, barring two sixes, in a painstaking 39-ball 36, including 16 dot balls.

England drop Roy, welcome back Woakes and Wood for T20 World Cup
Twenty20 World Cup in Australia beginning next month. Roy has been an integral part of England's white-ball squad and his explosive batting at the top of the order embodied the team's aggressive approach as they won their maiden 50-overs World Cup title in 2019. The 32-year-old has struggled for runs this summer and hit 76 runs in total in his last six Twenty20 Internationals which made his position untenable for the World Cup and the preceding seven-match Twenty20 series in Pakistan.

Asia Cup 2022: Pakistan to face Hong Kong in virtual knock out for place in last four
Given the recent form of Hong Kong, it will not be a walk in the park for the Pakistani team. Hong Kong have recently been in a rich vein of form, winning the qualifying tournament and remaining unbeaten. They ran India close in the previous edition of the tournament, and the last thing Pakistan would want to do is write them off.
Asia Cup 2022: Will the knock against Hong Kong become the turning point Virat Kohli has been searching for?
Ask Virat Kohli. Once the best batsman in the world, now without a century for almost 3 years. The unbeaten 59 off 44 balls on Wednesday at the Asia Cup would have been very welcome runs for Kohli, even though they came against Hong Kong, who are ranked 20th in the ICC T20I team rankings. Runs under the belt always gives a batter confidence and prepares him or her for harder battles ahead. This was Kohli’s 31st T20I fifty overall - he has the maximum number of half centuries in T20I cricket overall - and though his last fifty in the shortest format was scored only 4 games ago (for him), it was over 6 months ago - on February 18, 2022.
