The next edition of the Asia Cup kicks off later this year with six teams participating, all wanting to be crowned Asia Cup champions. The Men in Blue are the most successful team, having won the Asia Cup seven times, with Sri Lanka next with six title wins. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/asia-cup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Asia Cup</a> is a prestigious tournament and qualifying to be part of this tournament is difficult, hence only the best Asian countries compete.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

Records are made, and records are often broken, and the famous record which will take some time to be broken is that of Sachin Tendulkar from the 2012 Asia Cup, where he achieved the remarkable feat of 100 centuries. With the spotlight now turned to the Indian captain, we list 5 records below that Rohit Sharma has a chance to break in the forthcoming edition of the tournament.<o:p></o:p>

1. Most matches played for India in Asia Cup history<o:p></o:p>

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1686402704715_Rohit-Sharma.jpeg" alt="" width="640" loading="lazy"><figcaption>Rohit Sharma. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Rohit Sharma began his Asia Cup journey in 2008 and over the years, he has seen immense success by being part of three tournament-winning squads (2010, 2016, 2018). In the 2018 edition, he captained India and led the Men in Blue to a victory as well.<o:p></o:p>

Rohit currently sits in second place, having played 22 matches for India. The other Indian player to have currently played more matches than Rohit is Sachin Tendulkar, who represented the side in 23 matches in the tournament. In the group stages, India are scheduled to play <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/javed-miandad-mocks-pakistan-media-for-blurring-imran-khan-on-live-tv-shares-morphed-pic-of-1992-world-cup-win/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pakistan </a>and Nepal, meaning if Rohit does play those two games, he will surpass Tendulkar and become the player with the most Asia Cup appearances for India.&nbsp;&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

Although the Indian squad, for the Asia Cup 2023, hasn’t been chosen yet, barring any injuries from now to then, there are high chances of Ravindra Jadeja (14 matches) and Virat Kohli (11 matches) adding more games under their tally. &nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

2. Most sixes in Asia Cup<o:p></o:p>

Hitting sixes is no easy task for any player. It requires skill and technique to consistently do this. World cricket has seen famous sixes win games and the Asia Cup is no stranger to that. Harbhajan Singh smashing Mohammed Amir in 2010 drove India to victory and Shahid Afridi’s sixes off Ravichandran Ashwin in 2014 allowed Pakistan to win.

Shahid Afridi himself has hit the most sixes (26) in Asia Cup history. However, in fourth position sits Rohit Sharma (17 sixes). Rohit needs 10 sixes to become the player with the most sixes hit in Asia Cup and there is no doubting Rohit’s ability that this feat can’t be achieved this year. The scenario sits that if India bat first against Nepal, this could give Rohit the chance to close the gap.<o:p></o:p>

Although the grounds are not confirmed yet, and that will play an important role in whether Rohit achieves the feat. Picking on two grounds, at the R. Premadasa Stadium, he has 3 sixes in 9 ODIs and 10 sixes in 12 T20Is, whereas at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, he has 5 sixes in the 3 ODIs played there.<o:p></o:p>

3. First Indian batter to score 1000 runs in Asia Cup<o:p></o:p>

Currently, only two players have reached the 1000-run mark in Asia Cup history, those both being Sri Lankan superstars Sanath Jayasuriya (1220 runs) and Kumar Sangakkara (1075 runs). If team India win the Asia Cup, they would have played 6 games, which gives Rohit (currently 745 runs) the opportunity to reach that special landmark.

Rohit Sharma hasn’t been amongst the runs in recent times but the time away since WTC Final and the series against West Indies does give Rohit the opportunity to make the big runs and remind the cricketing world of the batting genius he is. Of the current Indian batters, Virat Kohli (11 matches) currently has 613 runs in Asia Cup history, which includes three 100s.<o:p></o:p>

There is a more than likely chance that after this edition of the Asia Cup, Rohit won’t feature in any more games going forward. As mentioned in this article, his contributions have been right up there and has tasted plenty success. The record of being India’s first batter to reach 1000 runs would give him extra impetus of signing out of Asia Cups with a bang.<o:p></o:p>

4. Sixth Indian player to reach 10,000 ODI runs<o:p></o:p>

The most runs scored in ODIs are scattered with Indian batting legends. The top 10 contains Sachin Tendulkar (18,426 runs), Virat Kohli (12,898* runs), Sourav Ganguly (11,363 runs) and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/you-have-rahul-dravid-as-a-coach-what-else-do-you-want-mohammad-kaif-rubbishes-claims-of-india-missing-ms-dhoni-in-icc-tournaments/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rahul Dravid</a> (10,889 runs). Open the list slightly more to top 15, and there you find MS Dhoni (10,773 runs) and current skipper Rohit Sharma at 9,825 runs.

Rohit needs 175 more runs to join an elite list of batters to achieve 10,000+ ODI runs. There are overall 14 batters ahead of him. Before the Asia Cup commences, Rohit will lead India in a three-match ODI series against West Indies where he has the chance to break into the 10,000 runs club.<o:p></o:p>

Rohit’s ODI career could be looked at pre-ICC Champions Trophy 2013, and post-ICC Champions Trophy 2013. His stats before the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 were 88 matches played, 2065 runs scored, averaging 30.8, whereas during and post that tournament, it surged to 7760 runs scored in 155 matches played, averaging a mighty 57.4. His so called “2nd life” presents mighty stats which not many other players can match up to. <o:p></o:p>

5. Most international sixes<o:p></o:p>

When Rohit Sharma middles the ball, there may not be a better sight in world cricket. The ease and class Rohit possesses is enviable. He is certainly a photographer’s delight when in full flow and form. Rohit has broken many records to date and set new records which may take some time to be beaten.&nbsp;

Most international sixes (Test + ODI + T20) is one record which Rohit is nearing. He occupies second&nbsp;position with 527 sixes to his name, as West Indian legend Chris Gayle tops the list with&nbsp;553 sixes. In this year’s Asia Cup Rohit certainly has the chance to break that record.

Rohit is 26 sixes away, and with a series against West Indies to take place by the time the Asia Cup begins, that number could probably decrease. Other Indian batters to feature in the top 15 include MS Dhoni (sixth) at 359 sixes, Virat Kohli (11th) at 279 sixes, and Sachin Tendulkar (13th) at 264 sixes.<o:p></o:p>
