Indian team is facing off against Hong Kong in their second match of the Asia Cup 2022 tournament and gave the fans who came to watch the match lots to cheer about, especially in the second half of the innings.

This was all thanks to some amazing hitting from Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav who hammered the Hong Kong bowlers to all parts of the Dubai stadium.

India batted first after losing the toss to Hong Kong and made only 70/1 in the first 10 overs with Rohit Sharma making 21 in 13 balls, while KL Rahul struggled for 39 balls to make 36 runs. But Virat Kohli kept the scoreboard ticking and Suryakumar Yadav exploded on the other end.

The cricket fraternity was happy with the way Indian batters recovered from a lull start to finish on a high and reserved praise for both Kohli and Suryakumar on Twitter.
