When Suryakumar Yadav entered the batting order, India was 94 from 2 after 13 overs. His 68* from just 26 balls, which included 6 fours and 6 sixes, enabled India to 192 for 2. The partnership between Virat Kohli and Suryakumar needed just two more runs to secure a century stand, but the fans will never forget the incredible performances the pair produced.
Suryakumar Yadav dominated the last over as he started the 20th over with a six which brought up the Indian star’s half-century. He went on to hit back-to-back sixes. Followed by a dot ball, which according to the looks of Suryakumar Yadav, was regrettable as the batsman aimed for 6 sixes in an over.
The next ball followed by the dot ball, went for another six, and India set a target of 193 runs which is really crucial for Hong Kong to beat.
