Abhishek Sharma’s extraordinary performance in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025 has firmly established him as one of the most exciting talents in Indian T20 cricket. Scoring 309* runs in just six innings, Sharma has not only etched his name among the top run-scorers in T20 International (T20I) tournaments featuring Full Member teams but also demonstrated remarkable consistency and explosive batting ability that bodes well for India’s T20 future.
Abhishek equals Rohit Sharma’s record
Against Sri Lanka in the final game of the Super Four stage, the left-handed batter completed his third consecutive fifty of the series, and the fifth of his career in just 22 balls. With this, he has now equalled Rohit Sharma’s record and became the batter with the joint-second most T20I fifties in 25 or fewer deliveries.
Only Suryakumar Yadav is ahead of him now with seven fifties in 25 or less deliveries.
