Everyone believed that India’s matchup with Hong Kong would be lopsided. Moreover, a quick peek at the scoreboard gave the impression that the game was lopsided. Those that viewed the entire game, however, were aware that this was untrue. Thanks to the amazing innings played by Virat Kohli and SKY.
There was only one explanation for why India was able to claim victory in what may be described as a rather close match. Suryakumar Yadav was the driving force behind India’s impressive 40-run triumph over the Asian minnows.
When SKY came out to bat at number four, things were looking extremely bad for the Asian juggernauts. He nevertheless used the podium to attack the opponents. The outcome would have been different if he hadn’t delivered such a magnificent knock. He scored an undefeated 68 off just 26 balls throughout his innings while hitting six fours and maximums off the park.
When trying to analyze SKY’s masterclass, many ran out of terms since he batted like a man who was possessed. Gautam Gambhir, the former India opener, was also no exception.

The World Cup-winning opener was quite complimentary of India’s number four after the game. He also suggested that Surya replace Kohli at one down in the batting order given his recent performance.
“I believe if Surya bats at number three, it will be better as compared to Kohli,” Gambhir stated on Star Sports during the post-match show. The fact that Gauti backs SKY to bat above the legendary Virat Kohli himself is proof of how highly he rates him.
SKY appeared from behind Gambhir while he was speaking and gave him a bear hug. The 2011 World Cup champion then instructed the anchor to inform the right-handed batter of his message.
The former cricketer, who is now a politician, then decided to take the initiative himself. He started to SKY that, in his opinion, he ought to bat at number three in place of Kohli. The host then informed Gambhir that the 31-year-old had often emphasized his desire to be “very flexible.”
Gambhir responded with a pretty cheeky “Vo uski majboori hai (he’s unable to do anything).” Although not as consistently as SKY, Kohli has scored runs in both innings. Needless to say, both victories owe a lot to his efforts.
Prior to crucial matches, management is highly responsible for focusing on a number of other factors in addition to bowling and batting. Not one of them, though, is Kohli’s batting position.
