Abhishek Sharma made history in the 2025 Asia Cup by becoming the second Indian cricketer after Virat Kohli to score 200 runs in a single edition of the Asia Cup T20Is, achieving this feat in Dubai during the Super 4s match against Bangladesh. Sharma scored 75 off 37 balls, helping India post a total of 168/6, with key contributions from Hardik Pandya and Shubman Gill. In response, Bangladesh was dismissed for 127, with Saif Hassan scoring 69. Indian bowlers Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Varun Chakravarthy played crucial roles in restricting Bangladesh. Bangladesh opted to bowl first, aiming to qualify for the Asia Cup final, but India’s superior all-round performance secured their spot in the final. The match also saw Sharma blowing a kiss to the stands, dedicated to his sister. If Sharma scores at least 99 runs in the next match, he will overtake Rohit Sharma as India’s second-highest run-scorer in the tournament. The upcoming final will feature India against either Sri Lanka or Pakistan, with Bangladesh and Pakistan set to face off for a spot in the final. Sharma’s achievement and India’s advancing to the final highlight a significant milestone in the ongoing tournament.
