During the second match of ‘Group A’ in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 between India and Hong Kong at the Dubai International Stadium, a 98*-run stand off mere 42 deliveries for the third wicket between Virat Kohli (59* off 44) and Suryakumar Yadav (68* off 26) powered India to 192/2 in their 20 Overs.
Although much of the credit for the team posting a strong total unarguably goes to Yadav, Kohli did come up with some glorious strokes to smash his 31st half-century in the format off 40 deliveries.
The 33-year-old hit his second half-century off the six T20Is he’s played this year, with the last one coming against West Indies in February at the Eden Gardens.
However, akin the first match against Pakistan a couple of days ago, he did struggle to get on with his innings, managing to bat with a strike rate of less than a hundred in the first 20 deliveries that he faced.
He in fact managed to add mere 56 runs off 49 deliveries for the second wicket alongside KL Rahul (36 off 39), with the latter in particular facing the wrath of the fans and experts for batting way too slow and without much intent, despite the signs of the pitch holding up a tad.
