Abhishek Sharma continues to shine at the international stage, and with his outing against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup Super 4, has broken a record no other batsman has.

India's star opener has become the very first player to score 300 runs (or more) in a single edition of the T20 Asia Cup. As of this writing, he stands at 309 runs in the tournament, with one match still left. For those wondering, that match is against Pakistan in the final of the competition. 

He has also established himself as the batsman to hit most sixes in the T20 version of the Asia Cup, surpassing his compatriot Rohit Sharma.

Abhishek Sharma is the only batsman to touch, and surpass 300 runs in a single edition of the T20 Asia Cup.

Behind him are Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan (281 runs), India's modern-era great, Virat Kohli (276 runs), and then Afghanistan's Ibrahim Zadran (196 runs).

As mentioned, Abhishek will be in action again in this tournament, against Pakistan this Sunday (September 28, 2025) in the final, and keeping his form in mind, there is a good chance of him further extending his tally.
