Abhishek Sharma Matches Virat Kohli's T20I Fifty Record
26 Sep
Summary
- Abhishek Sharma scores third consecutive T20I fifty
- Equals Virat Kohli's record for most consecutive T20I fifties by an Indian
- Top run-getter in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025
On September 26, 2025, Indian batter Abhishek Sharma continued his impressive run in the ongoing Asia Cup by scoring his third consecutive half-century in the final Super Fours encounter against Sri Lanka in Dubai. With this feat, Sharma has now matched the record held by former India captain Virat Kohli for the most consecutive T20I fifties by an Indian player.
Kohli had previously scored three fifties on the trot against Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and New Zealand in 2012, and repeated the achievement two more times in his career. Other Indian batters like Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shreyas Iyer have also managed to score above fifty in three consecutive innings.
Sharma's consistent performances have made him the top run-getter in the Asia Cup 2025 so far. His ability to deliver in crucial matches has been a key factor in India's strong showing in the tournament.
