  • Kedar Jadhav picked up three wickets.

    India put their below par performance against Hong Kong on Tuesday behind them as they eased to an eight-wicket win.

    India dismissed Pakistan for 162 less than 24 hours after Hong Kong’s openers alone had added 174.

    Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Kedar Jadhav picked up three wickets each while captain Rohit Sharma smashed a quickfire fifty to seal a comfortable win in 29 overs.

    Here we take a look at the key moments from the match.
