And, now in the third clash against Pakistan, which is the final match, they have a chance to do great wonders.
The chance to become the first batsman to do so in the final
If Abhishek Sharma scored a century in the third clash against Pakistan, he will become the first batsman to do so in the final of the Asia Cup. Even if he did not score a century and scored 72 runs, he will still make a new Asian record. The record for making the biggest score in the final of the Asia Cup is so far in the name of Sri Lankan batsman Bhanuka Rajapaksha, who scored 71 runs in the final of 2022. The form in which Abhishek Sharma is in will have a chance to break this record.

This Indian record will also be in the final against Pakistan on Abhishek Sharma’s target. But, the biggest record will be the same when Abhishek will become the first batsman to do so in the final of the Asia Cup.
