Stuart Binny, the Indian all-rounder, is currently part of India’s playing lineup in the Hong Kong Sixes international tournament held in Hong Kong.
The six-over competition has witnessed some insane hitting from players across countries in the tournament. India were placed in Pool C alongside rivals Pakistan and UAE.
India went on to lose all four games, against Pakistan, England, UAE, and finally against New Zealand, today. Despite having the likes of former Indian internationals like Robin Uthappa, Stuart Binny, and Kedar Jadhav, they fell short.
The following video shows India needing to score 32 runs in the final over against UAE. Stuart Binny batted stunningly, as he hit a boundary and four sixes to take 30 runs off the over of Asif Khan, but India lost the match by a run.

Though India has lost all their matches, they kick-started their campaign against Pakistan in a contest where India, despite putting on 119, lost the match by 6 wickets.
Following that, India was resisted by Ravi Bopara, the English captain, with both bat and ball to chase the target. The encounter was followed by a single-run defeat against UAE.
India’s final loss came today, against the Blackcaps, when India lost by a huge 44-run margin, the biggest among their losses.
Batter Bharat Chipli remained India’s highest run-getter with 124 runs, followed by Robin Uthappa. Though it didn’t seem much of a bowler’s game, still Binny picked 4 wickets, the most for India.
