IND vs Hong Kong in Asia Cup 2022: Suryakumar Yadav was in scary fine form on Wednesday against Hong Kong scoring 68 off just 26 balls. Virat Kohli too shined with a terrific half-century, but the day belonged to Yadav who went on a rampage with 6 sixes and 6 fours. Yadav hit Hong Kong bowlers out of the park in all directions, from a helicopter shot, a terrific slick on the offside, and a fine 360 degree scoop.
As Kumar marauded through his innings taking India to 192 for 2, he scored 26 runs in the last over including 4 sixes. His batting created a storm on Indian social media, with fans hailing him as the new ‘Mr 360’ of cricket. His unbelievable and unreal shot selection sparked a Twitter storm.
"What a Blazing Knock By India's Mr.360. Incredible Range, Unbelievable talent. What a Playaaaaaaa!" wrote one fan." No matter which direction the ball Bowled , it is a six Mr 360 #SuryakumarYadav," wrote another. "Behind the wicket, sweep, over the covers, down the ground, what shot did he not play in that knock!," a third fan said. In fact, even King Kohli bowed down to Yadav after his stunning performance.
Here are some of the top reactions, including clips of his most wondrous shot:
