India vs Sri Lanka, Asia Cup 2025: World No. 1 T20I batter Abhishek Sharma etched his name in the annals of cricket history as he shattered the record for the most runs in a single edition of the Asia Cup T20Is.

Abhishek achieved the feat during India's innings against Sri Lanka at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, surpassing Pakistan batter Mohammad Rizwan's record for most runs in a single Asia Cup T20I edition.
