Ahead of the India and Hong Kong match in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 on Wednesday (August 31), Hong Kong captain Nizakat Khan said that everyone in his team wants Virat Kohli to return to his old touch with the willow and score a lot of runs.
Nizakat further claimed that he is a big Kohli fan and said that the right-hander played really well against Pakistan. The 33-year-old scored 35 off 34 balls to play his part in India’s five-wicket win over Pakistan.
Speaking to News 24, as quoted by News 18, Nizakat Khan said: “I am a big fan of Virat Kohli, he played well against Pakistan, we really want him to come back in form & score lots of runs.”
When Hong Kong and India met in the Asia Cup last time, it was a tight affair, as the Men in Blue won the match by 20 runs, and Khan is hoping for a better result in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022.
The Hong Kong skipper further said, “We lost by just 20 runs when we last faced India at the Asia Cup in 2018. Anything can happen in a T20 game. You don’t when a bowler can deliver a good spell, or a batter hits some quick runs in a couple of overs.”
He signed off by saying, “We have seen in the past too how even the top sides have lost against associate teams. We will go with positive body language and will stick to our process.”
