Dubai: The 26 balls he faced against Hong Kong on Wednesday, Suryakumar Yadav demonstrated all the right things about his T20 batting, while exposing everything that is wrong with India’s top-three in the batting order. Surya walked out to bat at the end of the 13th over with the scoreboard reading 94/2 after KL Rahul went for a 39-ball 35 and Virat Kohli was still striking just about run-a-ball.
When Surya walked off unbeaten with 68 runs to his name, and Virat Kohli by his side with a 59 off 44, he had propelled India to 192/2. In doing so, Surya had put the game beyond the spirited Hong Kong team who finished with 152/5 having cashed in on India’s two inexperienced bowlers — Arshdeep Singh (1/44) and Avesh Khan (1/53). India’s head coach Rahul Dravid, wearing that worried look in the dugout, will go into the Super 4s with the same set of unresolved issues.
The pitch and Hong Kong’s inexperienced, but spirited bowling, gave little space to the Indian batsmen till the time Surya took strike. Captain Rohit Sharma’s dismissal on 21 off 13 earlier in the innings at mid-on was indicative of a double-paced pitch.
