Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Captain India in 2026 Hong Kong Sixes Tournament
India will compete in the 2026 Hong Kong Sixes cricket tournament from October 30 to November 1, with veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar leading a seven-member squad featuring IPL players including Krunal Pandya, Nitish Rana, Shashank Singh, T. Natarajan, Rahul Tewatia, and Rahul Tripathi. The fast-paced six-a-side format demands aggressive batting and versatile skills.
