India vs Netherlands, T20 World Cup 2022 Highlights: IND thrash NED by 56 runs, go top of the table

Lifted over mid-off for Kohli's third boundary of the match off the second ball of the 17th. He had tried a similar shot off the previous ball but could not get any timing on it. 

Well it's the Kohli-SKY partnership that is blossoming. It has hurt a few teams in the recent past. Slow ball drifting to his pads, he simply helps it along. 

Suryakumar can't be stopped now. First slices the ball past extra cover and it trickles past the boundary ropes despite the good efforts of the fielder there. Then he absolutely smashes the ball between mid-off and cover. 

He has moved to 16 off eight which is ominious for the Netherlands. He puts this one between short fine leg and deep square leg. 

This partnership has already gone over 20. The Netherlands have a real task in their hands, India have Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik to come after this. Big score incoming? 

To two opposite areas of the ground from Suryakumar. First gets out the pick up shot off the second ball of the 14th after walking outside off. Then he whips out the cover drive for the next ball for another. 

They first run two off the fourth ball of the 13th when there really didn't look like two was available. Then punish Netherlands for an overthrow by converting a single into two. Netherlands have been good so far in the field but SKY and Kohli are lightning fast between the wickets. 

He skips down the track and sends the ball sailing over the bowler's head. One bounce and over the boundary. Kohli has absolutely middled a few shots today but they have all gone to the fielders. Now with SKY at the other end and just about 8 overs left, he would be looking to accelarate now.  

Straight down the throat of deep midwicket. 

Sharma c Ackermann b Klaassen 53 (39), India 84/2 in 12 overs

He gets to his fifty in 35 balls. He comes down the track and tries to take it on, gets only an edge but the ball rolls away to the boundary behind. Rohit had a scratchy start to his innings but he seems to be in full flow now. India are 78/1 in 11 overs. 

Pringle drifts on to the Indian captain's pads and the latter sweeps him fine to the boundary. He is nearing a half century now. 

India are 67/1 at the halfway mark. They need much more of overs like these to get a good score on board. For now, the Netherlands can be pretty happy about how things have gone so far. 

Right off the next ball! Short on middle and leg and Rohit brings out his favourite pull shot. The ball goes soaring over the deep backward square-leg boundary. 

Second ball of the 10th is a slower from de Leede, Rohit waits for it and cuts it past the backward point fielder. The Indian captain is looking to get hold of almost every ball he is facing now. 

Well apart from one ball from Van Meekeren and that dropped chance from Pringle, Netherlands have been spotless today. Kohli would have got a boundary from a brilliant cover drive had it not been for some excellent fielding by De Leede at the ropes. De Leede comes back to bowl the 10th over, India are 53/1.

Rohit Sharma was given out LBW off the second last ball of that over but, unlike Rahul, he goes for the review immediately. Replays show that he had got bat to it. 

Smacked over long-on! Slow one outside off from Van Beek and Rohit is on to it in a jiffy. 

Credit to Netherlands, they haven't really let India get away. Apart from a couple of lusty blows from Rohit Sharma India have not looked too fluent. 

Just the next over, Rohit flicks and Pringle is in play again, this time at fine leg. But the ball falls just short of him. 

Oh, he was gone for all money. If Netherlands are to pull off an upset, or even challenging this star-studded Indian team, they need to do better than that. Length ball from Klaasen angling across the stumps, Rohit miscues his shot and Pringle at mid-on is in play but he can't take this catch running to his right. That was a pretty straightforward chance and Netherlands have been pretty disciplined so far in this tournament, this is quite unlike them. 

Those who remember India's match against the Netherlands in the 2003 World Cup would also recall that while Sourav Ganguly's side won the game, it was a Dutch player who won player of the match. That was fast bowler Tim de Leede for his 4/35. Among his wickets were Sachin Tendulkar, India's highest run scorer of that game, and Rahul Dravid. Dravid, is now head coach and de Leede might be watching proudly on a television set this game where his son, Bas de Leede is bowling to Rohit Sharma right now. Life comes full circle. 

Bas de Leede provides some width and Rohit obliges. Creams it through covers for a boundary. Wonderful shot and the Indian captain is looking good. 

He had replaced Rahul and, as is the norm for many years, received big cheers from the SCG crowd as he came on. 

We didn't get to see that against Pakistan but here it is. Short one from Van Meekeren to end the over and Rohit pulls it into the stands. 

It may have been going down the leg side but Rahul chooses not to review it. Full on the stumps from Van Meekeren and angling into the right hander's legs. It hits him on the lower part of his pads and it is yet unsure if he himself voted against the review or Rohit told him not to take it.
