Seasoned pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar will lead Team India at the upcoming edition of the Hong Kong Sixes, which will be held from October 30 to November 1.
The Indian team also includes Krunal Pandya, Shashank Singh, Rahul Tewatia, Nitish Rana, Rahul Tripathi and T. Natarajan.
With only six players on the field, the Hong Kong Sixes is a format where there is little room to settle in. Matches are fast-paced, high-scoring and built around attacking cricket, with batters encouraged to go after the bowling and every player required to contribute across disciplines.
Team India will return to the Hong Kong Sixes looking to go deeper into the competition after opening its 2025 campaign with a two-run DLS victory over Pakistan, before exiting the tournament following defeats in its subsequent matches.
Pakistan enters the 2026 edition as defending champion, having defeated debutant Kuwait in last year’s final to claim a record sixth Hong Kong Sixes title.
The 2026 tournament will feature eight major cricketing nations alongside four Associate Members, setting the stage for three days of fast-paced, attacking cricket at the Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground.
Where to watch Hong Kong Sixes in India?
The tournament will be broadcast live in India on Sony Sports Network.
