Abhishek Sharma has emerged as the top run-scorer in Asia Cup 2025. The Indian cricket team is set to face Pakistan in the highly anticipated Asia Cup 2025 final on Sunday, September 28, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. All eyes will be on Indian opener Abhishek Sharma, who has been the standout performer of the tournament.
The 25-year-old left-hander has been instrumental in India’s journey to the final. With his aggressive stroke play and consistent performances, he has provided India with explosive starts throughout the tournament. Notably, Abhishek scored three consecutive half-centuries during the Super Four stage, helping India remain undefeated.
In six games, he has amassed 309 runs at an impressive average of 51.50 and a strike rate of 204.64, putting him well ahead of the competition. The next highest run-scorer, Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka, has 261 runs, underlining the dominance of Abhishek Sharma in Asia Cup 2025.
Abhishek Sharma Poised to Break Virat Kohli’s Record in Asia Cup 2025 Final
As the Asia Cup 2025 final between India and Pakistan approaches, Abhishek Sharma is on the brink of surpassing Virat Kohli’s record for the most runs by an Indian in a T20I tournament. Kohli set the benchmark with 319 runs during the ICC T20 World Cup 2014—a record that has stood for nearly a decade.
Abhishek needs just 11 runs to eclipse Kohli’s tally, and given his current form, he is well-positioned to achieve this milestone in the final. Under Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy, India remained unbeaten in the Super Four stage, defeating Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka to secure a spot in the final, marking six consecutive wins in the tournament.
Pakistan, meanwhile, bounced back from an opening loss to India, overpowering Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in successive matches to become the tournament’s second finalist. This final is particularly historic, as it marks the first time India and Pakistan will face each other in an Asia Cup final.
