Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav added 98* runs for the third wicket.
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 duo added 98* runs in 42 balls as Virat Kohli finished with 59* in 44 balls with 3 sixes and 1 four, while Yadav made 68* in 26 balls with 6 fours and 6 sixes, four of which came in the last over. India finished with 192/2 in 20 overs.
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.
