Abhishek Sharma breaks Virat Kohli’s iconic record in Asian Games final vs Pakistan

During the Asian Games men's cricket final against Pakistan, Indian opening batsman Abhishek Sharma played a blistering knock of 61 runs from 28 deliveries, which included three boundaries and seven maximums. This explosive performance allowed him to eclipse Virat Kohli's previous benchmark for the highest total of sixes hit by an Indian player in T20 international fixtures against Pakistan, bringing his own tally in those matchups to 14.

In addition, his seven sixes equaled Yuvraj Singh's historic record for the most maximums in a single India-Pakistan T20 innings, while also helping India post an imposing powerplay score of 81 runs for the loss of two wickets during the opening six overs.
