Abhishek Sharma has made history by setting a historic milestone by achieving the highest-ever ICC batting ranking in men’s Twenty20 international cricket. He reached a rating of 931 points, and with that, he surpassed Dawid Malanâ€s previous record of 919 set in 2020. Achieving this milestone has put Abhishek ahead of many legendary players like the current Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav (912), Virat Kohli (909), as well as Pakistanâ€s Babar Azam (900).
At the 2025 Asia Cup, Abhishek was named Player of the Tournament, scoring 314 runs at an average of 44.85, including a crucial half-century in the semi-final against Sri Lanka that sealed Indiaâ€s place in the final. He only made his international debut last year but has quickly become Indiaâ€s top T20I batter and now leads the ICC rankings by a wide margin, holding an 82-point gap over Phil Salt in second place.
Other highlights from the rankings update include Sri Lankaâ€s Pathum Nissanka moving up to fifth after 261 tournament runs, while Indiaâ€s Tilak Varma held third. Pakistanâ€s Saim Ayub also created history by becoming the new No.1 T20I all-rounder, ending Hardik Pandyaâ€s reign at the top after taking eight wickets in the Asia Cup.
At the 2025 Asia Cup, Sharma set the record for the most runs scored in a single edition of the T20I Asia Cup, accumulating 314 runs in seven innings, and was named Player of the Tournament. In October 2025, he also became the highest-rated T20I player ever, reaching 931 rating points and surpassing Dawid Malanâ€s previous record of 919 points.
Sharmaâ€s Asia Cup 2025 win marked Indiaâ€s ninth Asia Cup title overall and their second in T20Is. His sister, Komal Sharma, who is soon to be married, was emotional after Indiaâ€s victory over Pakistan in the final. She said that she had wished for this as a gift from her brother before her marriage and was proud that he fulfilled it by winning the Player of the Tournament award.
His father, Raj Kumar Sharma, expressed pride, calling the award “a very big thing†and highlighting how the entire team played their part in securing the title. His mother, Manju Sharma, said the whole family and country were proud of him and described the victory as a matter of immense joy.
