Virat Kohli scored his 31st half century during the T20I against Hong Kong in the Asia Cup match here on Wednesday. Kohli reached 50 in 40 balls after a run-a-ball spell in the early half of his innings. He built a strong partnership with Suryakumar Yadav, who helped raise the run rate on arrival.
India captain Rohit Sharma was dismissed for 21 as India made a slow start, as Hong Kong bowlers surprised the Indian batsman with tight bowling. Young pacer Ayush Shukla took the wicket of the Indian skipper. K. L. Rahul was left frustrated by the Hong Kong bowlers after getting out on 36, but taking 39 balls to get there.
