THIS 24-Year-Old Batter Shines as Nepal Crushes India After Kuwait and UAE Defeats

The India Cricket Team, who defeated Pakistan in their opening game of the Hong Kong Sixes, faced an immediate setback in their next three games of the tournament. They suffered a disappointing loss to Nepal, which came as a massive shock, especially with some of the best batsman in India in the Indian team. After beating Pakistan, India faced losses in India vs UAE Cricket and India vs Kuwait. It was expected that they would bounce back in their next game against Nepal. However, that wasn’t the case as they bagged another poor loss, marking their third straight loss.

The match between India and Nepal took place at the Mission Road Ground in Mong Kok, where Nepal won the toss and opted to bat. They had a staggering outing with the bat as both openers in Sundeep Jora (47*) and Rashid Khan (55 retd hurt) were all over the bowlers. The duo added an opening stand of 104 before Rashid got retired hurt. Batting at three, Lokesh Ban slammed 37 runs in just 7 balls as Nepal posted a total of 137 runs in their allotted 6 overs.

In the chase, India struggled right from the start as Nepal's bowlers bowled brilliantly. None of the Indian batters could go past the 15-run mark as they looked clueless. Rashid Khan was the star with the ball as well, as he bagged three wickets, handing India a defeat by 92 runs. With three losses, India has been eliminated from the Hong Kong Sixes 2025. This came as a surprise because some of the big names in Robin Uthappa, Dinesh Karthik were part of the Indian squad. However, things didn’t go as they would have wanted.
