Asia Cup 2025: The Asia Cup 2025 between 8 teams in UAE started with a bang. The first match was played between Afghanistan and Hong Kong, Afghanistan made a great start by registering a big win by 94 runs on the basis of accurate bowling, even though this match was between Afghan and Hong Kong, but the real headlines were more about the record in which Rohit Sharma's name was associated than the result of this match. This record of Rohit has been broken in the very first match.
Now Hitman has reached fourth position
Actually, right-handed explosive opener Rohit Sharma was the third highest run scorer in T20 Asia Cup with 271 runs, but after the Afghanistan vs Hong Kong match, this record slipped from his hands. He has now slipped to fourth position.
Asia Cup 2025 : Babar Hayat snatched the place
Hong Kong batsman Babar Hayat played an innings of 39 runs against Afghanistan, which included 3 stormy sixes. After this innings, Babar now has 274 runs in the T20 Asia Cup. This means that he has gone 3 runs ahead of Rohit Sharma and reached the third position. However, Babar could not make his team win, because apart from him no batsman could stay on the crease for long. Afghanistan had scored 188 runs while batting first, chasing which Hong Kong could barely reach 94 runs, in this too its 9 wickets had fallen.
Asia Cup 2025 : Rizwan and Virat's record in danger
Hong Kong's stormy batsman Babar Hayat's next target is Mohammad Rizwan, who is just 8 runs ahead of him. If Hayat completes this gap in the next match, he will become the second highest run-scorer after Virat Kohli (429 runs). If Babar does something special with the bat in the next two matches this season, he can leave Virat Kohli behind as well.
