Team India’s explosive opener Abhishek Sharma’s bat was in full swing in the Asia Cup 2025, but he could not do anything special in the final against Pakistan. He had reached a 30-run figure in all the tournament matches before the final, but in the final match, he lost his wicket for a single-digit score, causing Virat Kohli to break the world record. He remained six runs away from one milestone.
Abhishek Sharma failed to break Virat’s record
Abhishek Sharma faced six balls in the final against Pakistan, scoring only five runs and lost his wicket against Fahim Ashraf. As a result, he lost the record for the highest run by the full member batsman in the T20I tournament. This record is currently in the name of Virat Kohli. Abhishek Sharma missed the record of Asia Cup Virat.
Abhishek Sharma had the opportunity to leave both giants behind
Virat Kohli scored this record by scoring 319 runs in six innings in the 2014 T20 World Cup, which is still intact today. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka’s Tilakaratne Dilshan, who scored 317 runs in seven innings in the 2009 T20 World Cup, is currently second on the list. Abhishek Sharma had the opportunity to leave these two giants behind, but he got very close but he was left behind.
No. 1 in T20 Asia Cup
However, Abhishek Sharma became the highest scorer in this version of the T20 Asia Cup. He broke Mohammad Rizwan’s record in the last match. Mohammad Rizwan scored 281 runs in the 2022 T20 Asia Cup. Virat Kohli made a brilliant return with 276 runs that same year, but Abhishek has now left both of them back and made a new record. Abhishek’s batting in the tournament was constantly in the headlines, where he had troubled the bowlers with his explosive innings and aggressive approach. However, he failed to make a special impression in the final match.
