India are playing in the Hong Kong Sixes, and Dinesh Karthik has been handed the captaincy this time around. Stuart Binny, Abhimanyu Mithun, and Robin Uthappa have once again been drafted into the Indian team for the tournament.
The Pool C encounter between Kuwait and India ended in an unexpected twist as the Dinesh Karthik-led side lost the match by a staggering margin of 27 runs. The Indians could manage just 79 runs at the loss of their 6 wickets when chasing a total of 107 runs.
Opting to bat first, Kuwait posted a formidable target of 107 in their 6 overs at the loss of 5 wickets. The format itself is largely known for its 6-over-per-side games and some fearless striking. They scored runs with some smart running between the wickets and hence kept the Indian bowlers under pressure.
Player of the Match - Yasin Patel's stunning last-over show stole the show
At one point, Kuwait were far from even the 90-run mark and could have managed a score around 80 had it not been for Yasin Patel. Patel came in and smacked 5 sixes off the final over and led his team to 106, from 76 on the board.
Adnan Idrees and Yasin Patel held their nerve with the ball
After Kuwait's promising batting show, India, in reply, was expected to make a strong start with Robin Uthappa opening the innings for them. However, he was dismissed for a golden duck and joined by skipper Dinesh Karthik and all-rounder Stuart Binny, who also could not contribute much with the bat.
Yasin Patel also stunned with the ball, picking 3 wickets off his two overs, which proved decisive.
