Watch Virat Kohli's response to Suryakumar Yadav's outburst, "Kya Hai Yeh?"

As Kohli walked towards Suryakumar, the camera spotted the former India captain pointing towards the change room and mouthing 'Kya Hai Yeh', meaning 'What is this man?', marvelling at his partner's brilliance.

Suryakumar Yadav's 22-ball half-century and contribution to India's impressive total of 192/2 in 20 overs against Hong Kong, which ended up being the winning total as Rohit Sharma and company defeated Hong Kong by 40 runs, left Virat Kohli in wonder and awestruck. Suryakumar held on to his unbeaten stand of 98 runs while remaining unbeaten on 68 off 26 balls, giving India's innings wings and enabling them to soar in the last five overs. Six fours and six sixes were hit in Surya's innings, four of which came in the innings' last over when he tonked medium-pacer Haroon Arshad of Hong Kong for 26 runs.

Kohli took the greatest pleasure from Suryakumar's quick-fire knock as the rest of India cheered it on. While opposing him in the batter's box, Kohli had the finest view in the house to watch his teammate utilise full force. Surya looks a touch battered when he was removed for a run-a-ball 18 against Pakistan in the previous match. But last night was a very other inning. Suryakumar batted on a slow surface with style, grace, and domination, living up to the high praise that many have given him.

When Suryakumar hit the fourth six of the final over, Kohli walked up and embraced his partner, almost as though he had done it himself. Kohli's gestures at the other end told it all. When the game was done, Kohli made a unique gesture by bowing down to Suryakumar as the two batsmen were leaving after giving Hong Kong's final five overs a forgettable performance.

As Kohli walked towards Suryakumar, the camera spotted the former India captain pointing towards the change room and mouthing 'Kya Hai Yeh' (What is this man?), marveling at his partner's brilliance.

"Both Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli are grinning like they should. He went out there with the intent of scoring runs during that 98-run partnership and he accomplished that "Scott Styris, a star from New Zealand, stated on radio.

With his sixth fifty of his career and the sixth-fastest by an Indian player in T20Is, Suryakumar was appropriately named Player of the Match. The second-highest runs scored by an Indian in any over of a T20I match were scored by Suryakumar in the last over, which he completed for 26 runs. Suryakumar and Rohit both hit 26 against Hong Kong and New Zealand after Yuvraj blasted 6 sixes against Stuart Broad. Like Kohli, captain Rohit was left speechless by some of Surya's shots after the game.

"Sincerely, I won't say anything more about [Suryakumar's] today's innings. He occasionally makes these kind of knocks. He would come out and bat boldly because of his confidence, and some of the shots he made today are not recorded in history "The captain of India added.
