Vice-captain KL Rahul is looking to get back into the swing of things for India, and he couldn’t have asked for a better opponent than Hong Kong in Wednesday’s second and last group league game of the Asia Cup 2022. (August 31). The Group A encounter between Rohit Sharma and his squad and a team made up primarily of ex-pats from Pakistan and India who are not capable of playing 1st cricket in either country will be little more than a pompous net training for Rohit Sharma’s guys.
After a nail-biting win over Pakistan in the final over, masterfully written by Hardik Pandya, the team will be looking to give their batters more playing time against Hong Kong. Rahul’s first Twenty20 International of 2022 was against Pakistan the other night, so he’ll likely come out swinging. He also might use this game as a chance to test a new batting style, different from the one he’s used in the IPL.

A 20-ball 45 is typically more valuable than a 90-not out of 65 balls in Twenty20 Internationals because of the emphasis on impact performances. At this point, as India prepares for the T20 World Cup 2022, which will be staged by Australia between October 16 to November 13, the excellence of an innings and its relevance in the greater context of the match is more significant.
To put it mildly, Hong Kong’s bowling won’t be on par with Pakistan’s. Nevertheless, the unknown always inspires some level of apprehension.
