Suryakumar Yadav plundered 26 runs off the final over to help India post 192 against Hong Kong in the Asia Cup.

It was an absolute blinder from India's No. 4, who had walked in to bat when the Men in Blue were in a precarious situation.

At 94/2 after 13 overs, India desperately needed a flourish. And Surya provided exactly that.

He showed his intent right from the word go, scoring boundaries off his first 2 balls.

With Virat Kohli for company, the duo put together a 98-run stand in the final 7 overs. While Kohli too recorded his fifty off 40 balls, it was Surya's breathless knock that deserved all the limelight. 

He hit 6 sixes and as many boundaries, finishing with an unbeaten 26-ball 68. His knock was simply stunning, a reminder of why he's closing in on the top spot in the ICC T20I rankings for batsmen.
