India A vs New Zealand A: Mukesh Kumar impresses with three wickets as New Zealand A score 156/5 on Day 1

Playing for a representative national side (India U-19, India U-23, India A or Senior India) for the first time, the right-arm fast-medium bowler got the ball to move both ways and finished with figures of 13-4-34-3, with a wicket in each of his three spells. In fact, Mukesh got wickets with the new (4.3 overs), semi-new (35.3 overs) and old ball (57.4 overs), as only 61 overs of play was possible out of the maximum 90. While two left-arm pacers Yash Dayal (13-2-35-1) and Arzan Nagwaswalla (13-2-34-1) also got a wicket apiece, Mukesh was the best bowler on the day by a fair distance.

Asia Cup 2022: Businessmen to delivery boys - Hong Kong cricketers shine on the big stage

Hong Kong batsman Kinchit Shah usually handles the family diamond business and he sparkled in a losing cause against India, studding an innings of 30 with two fours and a six in the T20 Asia Cup. The Mumbai-born vice-captain, who proposed to his girlfriend after the match in Dubai on Wednesday, is part of an eclectic mix of pizza delivery men and university students representing Hong Kong against Asia's cricket giants in the UAE this week. The talented band of expatriates have been on the road since June, culminating in a berth in the main draw of the six-nation Asia Cup after winning all three qualifying matches. They lost to top-ranked India by 40 runs on Wednesday, but only after a fight in their chase of 193. Their next match against Pakistan on Friday in Sharjah could be their last in the tournament, but skipper Nizakat Khan said they had been flooded with praise from loved ones in their adopted home. "We have lots of support back in Hong Kong. We have lots of messages from family and friends," said Pakistan-born Nizakat. "It's a big learning curve for us to play against India and Pakistan. We take something out of these two games and hopefully the players learn a lot."

Asia Cup 2022: Attacking Suryakumar Yadav redefines T20 batting

Suryakumar Yadav makes unconventional look cool and his attacking instincts makes him a force to reckon with for the Twenty20 World Cup later this year in Australia.

Watch: Virat Kohli bowls for the first time in a T20I in six years

Virat Kohli scored his first international half century in over six months on Wednesday. His 44 ball unbeaten 59 vs Hong Kong, which had one four and three sixes would have gone a long way in both silencing some of his critics and giving him a confidence boost. But what really broke the internet was the sight of Virat bowling. Captain Rohit Sharma threw the ball towards the former skipper, asking him to bowl the 17th over of the Hong Kong run chase. At that point, Hong Kong needed an improbable 84 runs in 24 balls. India's sixth bowler on the night did a rather tidy job with the ball, giving away just 6 runs in the one over he bowled. He didn't pick up a wicket, but an economy rate of 6 isn't bad at all, considering this was the first time he was bowling in a T20I match since 2016. Watch Virat Kohli bowling vs Hong Kong here:
