Abhishek Sharma Asia Cup 2025 Journey – A Record-Breaking Run
Hey cricket fans, welcome back to Fourth Innings – your go-to spot for all things cricket, from nail-biting finishes to breakout stars. Today, we’re buzzing about India’s rising sensation, Abhishek Sharma, who just pulled off something straight out of a dream in the Asia Cup 2025.
Indian cricket team’s young sensation Abhishek Sharma continued his phenomenal form in the Asia Cup 2025 Super Four clash against Sri Lanka, scripting history with the bat. With another explosive half-century, Abhishek became the first-ever batter to score 300+ runs in a single edition of the T20 Asia Cup.
The previous record belonged to Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan (281 runs in 2022), while Virat Kohli and Afghanistan’s Ibrahim Zadran jointly held third place with 196 runs. Abhishek not only broke the record but also stamped his authority as India’s rising match-winner.
Key Highlights of Abhishek Sharma’s Record
-
First batter to cross 300 runs in a T20 Asia Cup edition (309 runs).
-
Seventh consecutive 30+ score in T20Is, equaling Rizwan and Rohit Sharma’s record.
-
Slammed his sixth fifty in 25 or fewer balls, showcasing fearless stroke play.
-
Dismissed for 61 against Sri Lanka but extended his run tally to elite levels.
Elite Company With Legends
Abhishek Sharma’s Asia Cup 2025 journey has put him in the same bracket as Indian greats:
-
Virat Kohli – 319 runs (T20 World Cup 2014), 273 runs (2016), 296 runs (2022).
-
Rohit Sharma – 257 runs (2024 T20 World Cup).
-
KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shreyas Iyer also feature on this elite list of consistent T20I performers.
Abhishek now stands just 11 runs short of recording the best-ever T20I competition by an Indian batter.
Why This Feat is Next-Level Special
With 309 runs, Abhishek has the fifth-highest tally by a player from a Test-playing nation in a T20I series/tournament. Only England’s Phil Salt (331 runs in five innings) is ahead of him. Just 23 more runs could take Abhishek to the top spot globally.
What It Means for India and the Tournament
With this win, India tops the points table and looks unstoppable into the final.
Abhishek’s heroics have silenced doubters and sparked talks of him locking down a top-order spot for the long haul. As for Sri Lanka, it’s another heartbreak, but credit where it’s due – India’s total was a huge.
Cricket’s full of surprises, and Abhishek Sharma just reminded us why we love it.
