IND vs SL / Virat-Rizwan all behind… Abhishek Sharma created history, became number-1

IND vs SL: Indian opener Abhishek Sharma's bat is on fire in the Asia Cup 2025. He once again gave India a solid start against Sri Lanka in the final Super-4 stage match. In this match, Abhishek not only made headlines with his batting but also set a unique record. He surpassed legends like Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan and former Indian captain Virat Kohli, setting a new record in the T20 Asia Cup.

Abhishek becomes number one in the T20 Asia Cup

In the Super-4 match against Sri Lanka, Abhishek Sharma broke the record for the most runs scored in a single edition of the T20 Asia Cup with his 34 runs. He has now amassed over 309 runs in this tournament, the most runs scored by any batsman in a single edition of the T20 Asia Cup.

Previously, this record was held by Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan, who scored 281 runs in the 2022 T20 Asia Cup. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli had a brilliant performance that same year with 276 runs. However, Abhishek created history by surpassing both legends with his aggressive and flamboyant batting. His explosive innings have troubled the bowlers considerably, making him a constant center of attention in this tournament.

Joined the elite club of Rohit and Virat

By completing 250 runs in this tournament, Abhishek Sharma achieved the distinction of becoming the third batsman for India to score 250 runs in a T20 tournament. He joins legends like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in this exclusive club. Rohit achieved this feat in one T20 tournament, while Virat Kohli has scored 250 runs in four T20 tournaments.

Furthermore, Abhishek became the first batsman to reach the 300-run mark in a single edition of the T20 Asia Cup. This achievement makes him the brightest star of this tournament. Notably, the Indian team still has one more match left in this tournament, giving Abhishek a golden opportunity to further strengthen his record.

His fast-paced innings and ability to hit the ball all around the field have won the hearts of fans.

Abhishek Sharma's performance in the Asia Cup 2025 could not only prove to be a turning point in his career but also signal the emergence of a new star for Indian cricket. His record-breaking performance has proven that he is poised for even greater feats in the future.
