Asia Cup 2023: Top 5 highest individual scores in Asia Cup
These players have won their teams the Asia Cup match on the back of brilliant performances in the continental tournament.
1. Virat Kohli : 183 vs Pakistan - Asia Cup 2012
The love story of Virat Kohli and ODI chases is a match made in heaven. One such instance was the Mirpur ODI back in 2012 between India and Pakistan. It was a must-win game for India to stay in the contest for the finals. Pakistan set up a 330-run target for the men in blue to chase down. And they got India one down in the second ball of the chase.
Outcame Virat Kohli at number three, and Sachin Tendulkar was standing at non-striker's end. He constructed the innings according to the situation. He took no risks against Hafeez and Ajmal before settling down to pacers. He reached the 100-run mark in just 97 balls. After that, he started attacking more to close down the required runs.
He went berserk on Umar Gul and Wahab Riaz in no time. He was taking along the scoreboard with his batting. Virat showed authority all over the ground, especially on the leg side. Though he got out 16 runs before, but his knock of 183 is edged into every Indian fan's memories. It's also Virat's highest score in limited-overs cricket and the highest top score in Asia Cup history.
