Kishore bowled four overs during the win over Nepal, picking up a solitary wicket of Nepali opener Kushal Bhurtel, giving away just 25 runs on his debut. His all-rounder effort allowed the Indian team to restrict Nepal to a total of 179/9 in 20 overs after the Indian team had smashed 202/4 having batted first.
Yashasvi Jaiswal had smashed a century, his maiden in T20I cricket, becoming the youngest Indian to hit a ton in the shortest format. Jaiswal also became the first Indian to hit a century in the Asian Games as India eased their way into the semifinal.
Earlier, the Indian women’s cricket team had won the gold in cricket, and the Ruturaj Gaiked-led unit will also be the firm favourites to add another gold to India’s medal tally.
